VirusTotal Arvostelua 60

My go-to for checking suspicious files and links Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been using VirusTotal for over [4 years] and it has become an essential part of my online safety routine. Whenever I download a file from a source I don't 100% trust or receive a weird link in an email, I run it through VT first.

I've only had a few situations where I got a bad/confusing read, but that was either a very literal read or the site just reading everything by definition. Only had that a few times with some windows visual mods and other similar apps, but besides that it has been a great tool.

Fake websites are spoofing domain names to sell services to remove fake warnings. Damn, VirusTotal is a 100% scam.

I was right to be sceptical about Virustotal. I tested it by copying what little html code is on the chrome "New Tab" page and it flaged it as dangerous and it said it had a IP collector when it was only the raw html code from the google chrome "New Tab" page.

Amazing site, you can scan files, sites and use it in Process explorer to scan everything that is running on your pc. It uses a lot of different scans to determine if something is malicious. Best online virusscan.

So much helpful website ti resolve abuse.

Je viens de télécharger un fichier pour le faire analyser dans ce site. La réponse est satisfaisante. J'ai supprimé le fichier douteux
Je ne connaissais pas le site Virus Total. Je vais continuer l'expérience.

Tackles fake harmful download sites.

For some paid games like Subnautica, I have scanned malicious pirate websites in this engine and it effectively detects it. However I have to mention it has false positives for some non-harmful websites. To improve the company should make the "rescan" button easier to see which would make seeing the latest results easier (accessibility).

Echt Empfehlenswerte Seite. Man kann dort Dateien bei denen man sich unsicher ist, überprüfen lassen nach Viren. Funktioniert auch sehr gut, ich bin Froh das es sowas gibt.

As a developer with 100% clean code I get so irritated when unknown scanners on their website telling me and my clients that there is malware in it. i dont trust the Behaviour scan from Microsoft looks like they want to kick out usage of Delphi ect. A simple Windows registry change to start with Windows and a lot of scanners on their site jump in panic mode.

Tool molto utile per verificare la sicurezza di un file o di un sito, sempre a portata di mano.

Hi! The virustotal is obviously fake! This because I created a payload of a simple coinminer and I encrypted the payload with AES-256 bits encryptation and he says that is virus. Obviously is virus but he can’t see the code to say that it’s virus. How is possible to say that is virus if the payload is encrypted? Good troll on internet, btw.

Hice una revisión en la página y el archivo me salió limpio y luego lo descargue y ese archivo tenía virus me daño Windows y según esta página el archivo.exe era limpio

At first glance, VirusTotal may appear to be a shining example of a great service. However, there is an unsettling truth lurking beneath the surface. This company, while presenting an appealing facade, seems to be a "devil in disguise."

According to their about page, this is is what they say: "Our goal is to make the internet a safer place through collaboration between members of the antivirus industry, researchers and end users of all kinds."

Unfortunately, my experience has revealed a different story. While the service is useful for doing a quick check if a file is malicious, there is a huge problem with false positives and the way they are handled. When you read their contributors page, VirusTotal claims to be "an information aggregator" and that they do not responsible for any false positives, since they are generated by other antivirus companies. They say that false positives should be addressed directly with the developers of that product.

It is easier said than done. A lot of those companies do not provide a way to submit false positives or they choose to overlook and neglect any communication related to these issues. VirusTotal does not seem to care about the companies they collaborate with. Contacting VirusTotal about it is like talking to a wall, they simply ignore you unless you are willing to pay them a ton of money for their questionable services. The larger number of antivirus companies, the safer you are? Even though a lot of them are not interested in improving their product? I doubt it.

If you are still not convinced that VirusTotal is careless, let us take a look at their contributors page which lists the antivirus products used and the links to the websites of the companies that own them. One of the products listed there is called "Google". The provided link to reach this company is google.com. Yes, it just points to Google search engine! Go ahead and try to figure out who you should contact when the antivirus doesn't even have a searchable name, because it is just called "Google". The craziest part about this is that VirusTotal was acquired by Google in September 2012. If there is anyone who should know how to contact the developers of this mysterious "Google" antivirus, it is VirusTotal!

The claim that one of the goals of VirusTotal is to collaborate with the end users is completely ridiculous. In fact, their practices raise concerns about their true intentions and ethical standards. False positives are harmful to the reputation of open source products and companies with small development teams. A lot of users get scared after seeing only 1-2 false positives, thinking that the file is malicious, and refuse to install the application. Preventing this is almost impossible due to the disinterest of VirusTotal and the contributing antivirus companies.

VirusTotal should have a better way to handle this by starting to communicate with the end users, vetting the companies they collaborate with, providing the means to report false positives and receive a transparent response within a reasonable timeframe. At no point you should have to go through the list of 70+ companies and try to figure out how to submit a file, in which format to submit it, how long to wait and whether the company is ever going to respond.

Until then, proceeding with caution would be wise when dealing with VirusTotal, as using this service means that you are giving power to a company to harm other products without repercussions while presenting themselves as benevolent.

Best of the best, what ever you download from internet can be scanned.
pros:
1. 60+ antivirus scan simultaneous(I have never seen any other than this site)
2. behavioral report
3. network connections
4. chain connections
5. rating by user(truly virus or not) and commenting
and many more

cons:
1. 600mb per file upload limit (solution: if your downloaded file is more than 600 mb then install on virtual machine and scan)

Top - benutze ich immer wieder gerne ...
Überprüft mir Dateien, Urls, etc. bevor ich etwas downloade oder installiere !!
Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen...
