User reviews
Users praise the extension's integration with Google's VirusTool and VirusTotal APIs to enhance malware scanning, particularly for Windows Defender users. However, multiple reviews criticize the mandatory registration and API key entry process, which is confusing and cumbersome. This leads to functionality issues, with some reporting the extension repeatedly opening tabs on startup or simply not working at all without completed sign-in.
Pros
- Uses Google's VirusTool malware scanning engine to automatically judge software safety.
- Useful especially for users relying solely on Windows Defender for security.
- Allows integration with VirusTotal API through user registration and API key input, enhancing scanning capabilities.
Cons
- Extension requires registration and API key entry to function, which frustrates some users.
- The registration process is confusing and difficult, especially for obtaining the API key.
- Extension repeatedly opens a tab at startup until sign-in or registration is completed, annoying users.
- Overall functionality is reported as not working by several users.
