VirusTotal Description
VirusTotal evaluates files and URLs using more than 70 antivirus solutions and blocklisting services, alongside various analytical tools to derive insights from the analyzed content. Users can conveniently choose a file from their device through their web browser and upload it to VirusTotal for examination. The platform supports multiple methods for file submission, such as its main public web interface, desktop uploaders, browser extensions, and a programmable API, with the web interface receiving the highest priority for scanning among these options. Submissions can be automated in any programming language by utilizing the HTTP-based public API. VirusTotal is instrumental in uncovering harmful content and also plays a role in recognizing false positives, which are legitimate items incorrectly flagged as malicious by certain scanners. Additionally, URLs can be submitted through various means, including the VirusTotal website, browser extensions, and the API, ensuring flexibility for users. This comprehensive approach allows VirusTotal to serve as an essential resource for cybersecurity efforts.
