Rene:

I looked at https://www.virustotal.com/ and found it interesting. That 
being said, everything on it looked "pc" and "windows" except for one 
report of issues which seemed OS/Mac based.

I went through all the documentation and tabs to other pages as best I 
could (including the FAQ).

I could not get a clear answer as to whether this site handled any and 
all queries was platform agnostic or limited to Windows (and maybe OSX).

I have to deal with Windows via Cygwin, OSX, and Centos/Fedora and can't 
figure out if I can send anything from any platform to this site.

Thanks in advance for humouring my tangent within this same thread (I 
made sure I changed the subject to reflect the tangent)

Paul
