VirusTotal was established in 2004 as a free service that scans files and URLs for viruses, worms, trojans, and other malicious content. The company's mission is to make the internet a safer place by collaboration among antivirus industry members, researchers, and end users of all types. The VirusTotal community has over 500,000 registered users and includes 500 companies, governments, and leading security firms.

VirusTotal's website, virustotal.com uses over 70 antivirus scanners and URL/domain blocklisting services to check files that were sent by users. Any user may use their browser to choose a file from their PC and transmit it to the website through several submission methods, including the primary public web interface, desktop uploaders, browser extensions, and a programmatic API. Among the publicly available submission options, the web interface has the greatest scanning priority.

virustotal.com works with engines from a variety of organizations, however, the firm does not distribute or promote any of those third-party engines. It merely functions as an information aggregator, providing our users with an impartial and unbiased service.

Note that virustotal.com scanning reports are made available to the public VirusTotal community. Users can leave comments and vote on whether or not certain information is harmful. Users can therefore contribute to the community's common understanding of potentially hazardous content and detect false positives.
