Virus Total Uploader Update
Virus Total offers a great service for users who want to check files for malicious code. The main benefit of using Virus Total over locally installed antivirus software is the multi-engine approach as it offers to scan files with dozens of different antivirus engines and databases.
The Virus Total service can be used on the website directly by uploading one file to the service or by use of the Virus Total software which recently has been updated to version 2.
It was previously only possible to send one file from within Windows Explorer to the service using the software. This has changed as Virus Total Uploader 2.0 comes with its own interface.
