VT4Browsers: VirusTotal Extension for Safe Browsing

'VT4Browsers' is a Chrome extension that offers VirusTotal's service for analyzing suspicious files and URLs, aiming to prevent potential infections and undesirable results. The extension contributes to the mission of making the internet safer. It helps in the improvement of the antivirus and security industries while also enhancing the online safety of the VirusTotal Community members. This tool allows you to cooperate with the security industry by optionally sharing the DNS resolutions from your browser without being tied to your identity. However, VT4Browsers is not a substitute for antivirus or various security products.

User reviews

Till today I have used it for a long time, but now when I try to have a link scanned, it seems to require me to login! So now I would need to make an account to see scan results? No, even if it is free, I do not think this is a good thing.

I cannot imagine how my browsing experience will be without this extension. However, If you add a feature that checks the URL automatically without need to do it manually, from my perspective this extension will be PERFECT!
