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.
