VirusTotal is a program for Windows developed by the company that specializes in suspicious file analysis. The service relies on more than fifty antivirus engines to perform its functions. With the help of this tool, you can identify potentially dangerous, unwanted, corrupted and malicious applications.

Upload files

After launching the utility, you have to select which files you want to send for analysis. Please note that a considerable number of data formats is supported, and it is possible to specify a URL link to the desired object. The next step is to upload the files to the server and wait for the scan to finish. In order to view the final report, you need to install any web browsing solution, like Chrome or Opera, for example.

The software gives you the ability to send not only ordinary, but also executable files. You can view the list of all active processes which is displayed at the top of the main window. By clicking on any of the entries, you may submit the data for verification.

Analysis

The online service uses multiple antivirus engines from different developers. One of the main advantages of this tool is the fact that since the files are analyzed on the server and not on your personal computer the processing speed is greatly improved. VirusTotal is capable of detecting Trojans, rootkits, and many other types of malicious apps.
