User Reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for its simplicity and speed in scanning URLs compared to manual checks. However, a common and significant issue reported by multiple users is that scans often remain queued and do not complete, displaying the message 'Scan still queued. Stopped polling. Please rescan later.' This problem persists despite attempts to fix it by restarting or reinstalling, leading some users to remove the add-on.
Pros
  • Provides quick and easy scanning of URLs without manually visiting VirusTotal website
  • User interface is simple and easy to use
  • Works perfectly for some users
  • Saves time by speeding up the scanning process
Cons
  • Frequently shows error message: 'Scan still queued. Stopped polling. Please rescan later.'
  • Issue persists even after rebooting, reinstalling the add-on, and checking VirusTotal website
  • Inconsistent functionality - works a few times initially then fails repeatedly

I thought I would try it. I get the same issue as others. "Scan still queued. Stopped polling. Please rescan later." I even rebooted. No resolution. I removed it.

Is VirusTotal Scan Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

VirusTotal Scan requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.
  • Low ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** **************
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

VirusTotal Scan has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
