    How do I scan .jar files? None of these methods work for .jar files. I made a RAT infected .jar file and it wasn't detected.

    These methods do work for .jar files. However, keep in mind that they are not 100% effective. This is especially the case if you made the RAT file yourself and it has never been seen in the wild before.

    I bought a Microsoft Office activation number on eBay, and the .iso file is in my email. When I try to scan it, it says that it is unable to scan for viruses. How can I find out if it is safe?

    Microsoft Office does not come in a .iso file, it comes in a .exe file. It is possible that you were scammed, and I would not recommend opening it. You should only buy Microsoft Office directly from Microsoft, and it is not recommended to buy it from external sites like eBay. For information on getting Microsoft Office, you can read How to Install Microsoft Office .
