Comments and Reviews
It's a great option to be able to participate in a community way by leaving ratings and comments on the analyzed objects, especially when discussing about false positives.
So helpful to upload a quick file for a sanity check!
most easy tool to verify URLs/Links!
A few notes on Virus Total:
web based antivirus that can scan any file for virus or malware
I really like this tool as it allows a good scan of websites and files, allowing an analysis of the links and showing me whether or not I can click on it or open it!
Ideal to keep my Linux Mint more protected and maintain another layer of security for those who connect or work with me.
It's free and provides an important insight. However, they do not have any quality control for anti viruses. That means you will be getting a lot false positives. This becomes a huge problem when services integrate VirusTotal and boot your files off the platform when they get false positives.
Who in their right mind decided to put Jiangmin on this platform. A fake Chinese antivirus that apparently sees everything as a virus. If not that, then Webroot or SecureAge APEX decide to scream. Maybe Malwarebytes will have a hissy-fit this time. Who knows?
Compiled your program? Be prepared for users to yell, you code viruses, because some QiHoo 360 or other Antiy-AVL says it's a trojan. Got an encryption DLL? APEX thinks you're up to something. I'm tired of it!
They have over 60 different antiviruses. Most of which nobody has ever heard of or used. All these smooth brain programmers have hard-coded their software to detect viruses when an executable is not signed by Bill Gates himself. I'm talking about you, the developers of "MaxSecurity". Your website takes me to a dead index.html link.
If a homeless man developed an Antivirus using crack, TempleOS and a stolen Dell PC - VirusTotal would want a copy.
