Want to protect your computer? No problem, VirusTotal Uploader is for you.
Viruses, malware and other spyware abound on the web and also on computers buddies or family members. Every day, we have to deal with dozens of different threats.
The best way to preserve the health of our computer is to invest in software designed for protection. And also to use our neurons, because most computer problems are between the screen and the back of the office chair.
There are a number of programs to scan files. VirusTotal offers precisely such a tool on Windows for several years, but it was not available on OS X .
Fortunately, now, it's ancient history ...
How does it work?
First and foremost, you have to retrieve the appropriate utility by visiting this page . After downloaded, it will run the executable to display. Again, well it is not complicated since you only have to take it and slip it into your "Applications" folder, just as you would with any other application.
Then it will do more than go to the same folder, and click on the icon VirusTotal Uploader . A few seconds later, a message will appear asking you to confirm your choice. After giving your consent, the Utility window will appear on the screen.
You'll just have to drag the files you want it to start the analysis. The duration of the process clearly depends on the scanner elements. In all cases, the tool will display a message if a problem occurs.
So of course VirusTotal Uploader does not necessarily replace a good antivirus *, but it should enable you to secure a little more configuration.
