The bad reviews are coming from people who do not really understand what this extension does. 1. OPSWAT is a vendor for critical infrastructure protection 2. This free extension allows to scan files with the OPSWAT Cloud, currently 24 Malware engines (check metadefender.opswat.com for more info). 3. It can also check the URL reputation using the OPSWAT Threat intelligence 4. The API key you can enter is only needed for corp customers who want to use their own OPSWAT Metadefender instance. 5. And of course for the above you need to give permission for certain thinks to work I thinks this extension gives you the best level of security when it comes to downloads on the market, and that for free! | |

saw high ratings and lotsa downloads for tis virus scanner extension install on brave browser [chromium based] and firefox [mozilla based] unable to scan as the scan process require API key. but on the extension settings Your MetaDefender API KEY info was blank. Thought it was browser problem. disable all the other extension but the api key just doesnt load. Disappointed with the extension. using the website is much slower | |

I swapped from using a VT extension a while ago and have been very impressed with this. Nobody needs all the pointless AV engines, and OPSWAT uses the ones I trust Now it has domain-checking of any sites you visit, and I was surprised and very pleased to see a warning for a spam domain which my other block-lists missed. The use of StopForumSpam is a great idea as it includes useful evidence for many IPs and addresses. | |

used to have 4 stars... now it has broken my chrome...have had both OPSWAT METADEFENDER ext & EZ-LINK ext on chrome for years... no conflict till now... It nw is incompatable with EZ=link and i need my EZ-link way more so i have to remove OPSWAT.,. thaNKS. ~~~~~~ ERROR BELOW IS THIS: First none of my google searches will load and i get this 400 error: "400. That’s an error. Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know." ~~~~~~ it says its extension fjampemfhdfmangifafmianhokmpjbcj which is yours ~ This extension failed to modify the response header "x-frame-options" of a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension (OPSWAT File Security for Chrome). | |
