Reviews & Comments of VT4Browsers chrome extension

I'll give it 4 stars! Because the notification for "Images are ignored from scanning" is very annoying! So I had to disable the "File scanning" feature... otherwise it would have been a solid 5/5! :)

Spent time to register and got an API key to try. Keeps telling me "insert a valid key"

it works and all, it just would never unpause downloads after checking, so id have to manually unpause them which made the extension a hassle to use.

I love this extension, it help in a lot of situations. One suggestion, I often deal with very long URLs that get cut and in that case the VT icon doesn't show up.

Thanks for this!

Version 4.0.0 breaks login to our corporate firewall web interface, it puts me in a "your session has expired please login again" endless loop.

[2022/03/16] * Before version 4.0.0 - ★★★★☆ * Version 4.0.0 - ★★☆☆☆ Since this version, I can no longer log in to the internet banking of MUFG Bank's website in Japan. Until recently, I was able to log in. To find the cause, I tried with incognito window of google chrome, turned off chrome extensions that might affect it, and finally found that this extension was the cause. If I turn off only this extension, I can log in. The login error (in Japanese) is as follows: -------------------------------------- 正しい取引開始画面から操作されていません。再度お取引を行ってください。 ※取引の途中でブラウザの「戻る」を使用すると、取引開始画面が正しく認識されない場合があります。 -------------------------------------- The English translation is as follows: -------------------------------------- You are not operating from the correct transaction start screen. Please perform the transaction again. * If you use the browser's "back" button during a transaction, the correct transaction start screen may not be recognized. -------------------------------------- This online banking site seems to have a specification that requires a screen transition by clicking a link button on the site, etc., or else an error screen will appear. The above error usually occurs when you use the "back" button on the browser to move from one screen to another. I think it's a problem that this extension is affecting the operation and behavior of the website behind the scenes! Please fix it.

Extremely useful!

Everything about this extension is great, however requiring me to go to the result page instead of just showing the detection rate and community stats in a compressed summary format is very tedious. Would be a 5 star rating otherwise

This is a must need for Internet users that have privacy download concerns and also engage in risky behavior. Been using this for months now and it has seriously helped out in fishing out bad download directories. It also gets updates, so you know the developers are not sleeping on some useless extension like so many do across the Chrome store these days.

is this extension backed by google ? why "Send anonymous passive DNS data to VirusTotal" is opted in by default. could you guys please clarify?

please add showing the results as popup instead i the results-link, and auto uploading, so everything can be set&forget

I like this extension, but why isn't "scan download URLs" in the management settings?

"Insert text/hash to search" does nothing.

Love the extension. Thank you for fixing it.

It works great! But for some reason - now it does not asks to send downloads for scan. Are there any newer versions than from 2018 or 2019?

It works just like you would expect, sending files you download to VirusTotal. It would be nice to be able to see the results of the scan in the prompt, though.

Support was amazing and extension works perfectly

Nice app

The popup box is driving me crazy. I think I'm going to delete the extension and check every download manually. Please, please give us a way to hide the pop-up or display the information more discreetly!

The extension won't allow me to download pictures, I've tried disabling settings in the extension and I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same issue arises I like the extension but I literally cannot use it anymore, If this issue gets fixed I will change my review and reinstall.

It has SAVED me on multiple occasions, this program should be automatically installed on chrome.

It worked just fine, I don't really want this "VT4Browsers" and access to everything permissions. I'm not enabling this.

Why does this now need more permissions, as chrome has disabled it because of these "newrequirements"?

I don't know if the API for Chrome extensions has been updated yet to enable this, but this thing could probably be improved to automatically scan incoming downloads, in addition to manual scans.

The functionality of this extension is exactly what I expected. It gives the benefits of a scan with virustotal in one click. However, the design is very strange. Every part of its design seems like it is unaffiliated with virustotal which is obviously untrue as virusotal links to it on their site. Each scan opens a virustotal page that is unlike the one I am used to. The logo doesn't even match. I have no idea why these decisions were made, but it is very off-putting to use even if it works great.

It's working great.

Tech blogs say extensions are viruses now. Developer respond and proof and i change rating.

I like this app, I would suggest to add an option to enable autoscan for each .exe/.zip/.rar/etc files downloaded and while it safe the app to do nothing, but if one of antiviruses detect something suspicious then the app will warn you.

Prevention is the best protection!

I use this every day. Thank You!!!

Perfect extension. Thanks for making it available for us.

excellent!

Great extension - I use it every day. My only gripe is it doesn't automatically focus your text cursor to the VT search bar when you click the extension icon.

Even though it's a couple years old, the extension still works well. Right-click on any exe link and select VirusTotal. This will prompt a VirusTotal scan on it. Helpful if you're unsure about a certain download or link.

If I could tie in my virustotal api, this would be a 5.

هربجي :p very nice and usefull extention

Handy...like interpretation, tho'

Extension is almost 2 years old, but works so far with 64-bit Chrome 37.

Brilliant application a must have

FANTASTIC EXTENSION! VERY HELPFUL,VERY USEFUL. GREAT JOB

Thanks for Staf Virustotal

Great security extension. Won't surf without it.

worked well for me. others reported browser Crash but not for me. as stable as it was before

it really helps to know if the page is safe, but does not clean the page.

good

I always love it. :) :)

Please make this extension open the scanned report in the background tab.
