What is Virus Total ? Is it useful for Us


May you have been heard of VirustTotal. Virust Total is website that scans Your Files, Suspicious urls . It scans for Worms, Trojans , malwares and Viruses .

There are Three options where you can scan Files, Url, and search. Let me describe below.

1. File Scan 

You can manually Scan Files from your pc by uploading them to site. And wait some seconds, minutes it depends upon your file size. After analyzing result looks like down below

3. Search
