Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive Online Scanner" July 24, 2022 5.0 Pros VirusTotal enabled me to scan any file I suspect with a comprehensive number of antivirus engines, all at once and without downloading/installing any software on my machine. It starts by scanning your file's hashes (before upload), and if the file was scanned before, it brings you right into the results page, this feature saves me tremendous amount of data and time. Cons Actually this is more of a suggestion than a con. It would be greatly useful to add more web-specific antivirus engines like ImmunifyAV and Sucuri. Review Source Rosa maria M.

Pros Que analice mi equipo, analice mis correos, mis archivos de correo, en mis drive, que me diga que contiene o no contiene virus . Es un maravilloso software.

You surely need to know what you're doing while using it, but it's easy to understand and has a lot of options. Cons While still having a lot of options, if compared to other softwares, it has a weak execution. Could work better and smoother. Review Source DS David S. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent tool for checking website URLs and files for malware" February 24, 2025 5.0 I have used virustotal for many years and I always rely on it when I want to check either website addresses or files before I open them to confirm they are not suspicious. Pros I love how easy it is to submit websites and files to virustotal for checking. I also love how comprehensive it is in terms of how many threat intelligence providers it checks and also I love the feature whereby it runs the files in a sandbox environment and provides detailed veedback on any suspicious activity. Cons I wish it was a little faster and I wish they brought back the feature whereby files could be sent to it by email as this was really useful. Review Source GT Giuseppe T. Cybersecurity Consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for malware analysis and threat intelligence" September 26, 2024 5.0 Pros Most popular malware analysis tool on the internet, providing scan results from dozens of antivirus vendors for both files and URLs/domains. The Enterprise Edition offers many additional features, such as multisearch, content visualization, graphs, and more. It can also be integrated in many third party applications with the use of API keys. Cons Searches could be more accurate. Sometimes, searching for something in particular returns too much, unrelated data that could be avoided.

January 8, 2024 5.0 Pros Gives me every AV result for my hash, I can upload files, I can get the signer from there, I can see community notes for my hash, Malware names and families.
