Not sure where you got the link to Andy's site but he has been "offline" for some time. AFAIK, his site and tools are not being updated. In fact, the link to the scanner redirects to a comments page.
When you need to take a second opinion about any suspect file, these online malware scanners let you scan the file with multiple anti-virus engines.
The most popular among them are:
Jotti.org
VirusTotal.com
I have used the above two services but not used the following websites yet. But these too give a similar service.
novirusthanks.org
virus.org
virscan.org
VirusChief
FilterBit.
Metascan
ScanURL.net
andymanchesta.com takes a slightly different route. It offers various scan links on its own site.
Know of any more such? Please do share!

Oops. I hadn't scrolled down. The scanner images/links flashed on the top of the page and then I saw the comments.
