  • Nice site and service, but incompatible with Firefox Nightly: 60.0a1 (2018-01-22) (64-bit)
    Please make compatible.

  • Great tool to use for quick "right-click" scanning of links/files. I hope it gets updated to a WebExtension for Firefox version 57. I emailed support, and am waiting for a reply.

  • Buen trabajo!

    Una extensión muy recomendable para la gente que no se fia de lo que se descarga o navega.

    - Hay un error, que al descargarte un archivo y dar en analizar con VirusTotal sale esto:

    {"result": 0, "verbose_msg": "Invalid URL"}

    Todo lo demas esta perfecto, si arreglan el error que es lo esencial de la extension, les pondre 5 estrellas.

  • Excelencia

    Si tenés un equipo que lo usas solo para navegar, con este complemente ni siquiera es necesario tener un antivirus instalado, debería estar en la protada de los complements de seguridad.

  • Right click/scan site not working

    I've come to find that right clicking on a link and scanning it no longer works. For awhile there I found myself having to refresh the page about 1 min. later to get the results, as it wouldn't show them initially. But now when I try to do it it simply takes me to the Virus Total website/main page, where you can upload files to be scanned. And doesn't scan the link whatsoever.

    And since this was the only reason I had for this addon in the first place I've now uninstalled it.

    I don't see anyone else mentioning it though, so I wonder if it's just something with my particular setup. So I'd like to hear others check to see if it works for them too and report their findings. Or... if it is indeed a widespread problem please fix it, and I'll install it again, because I really liked that feature. And I'll change my rating to 5 and apologize.

  • Only need the bookmarklet

    I agree w/ previous reviewers - concept is good, but toolbar takes up too much space in FF. But testing the toolbar provided the info for me to write my own bookmarklet to grab the url that's currently in your url bar and feed it to VirusTotal. You can try yourself if you like javascript:(function(){VirusTotal=window.open('https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/submission/?force=1&url='+document.URL,'_blank','');if(window.focus){virusTotal.focus()};})()

  • i have 3 problems with vtzilla.
    1. why do you need an entire tool bar taking up valuable screen space? (and why does mozilla allow it??) it should be treated as all other add-ons-- where they go and icons vs. text to take up less space.
    2. i recently found out vtzilla is now owned by google, so now they have yet another way to track and sell my browsing habits.
    3. webutation(.org) consistently scans as containing malicious files and yet they are part of the 'trusted' vtzilla machine, passing judgement on other sites.
    i sent the developers an email at least 4 months ago about this concern. never heard back, and webutation is still there and still not scanning as clean.

    btw, webutation owns all of the following, or at least they share the same IP address: (i've added brackets so i'm not posting potential malware links.)

    w.webutations(.org)
    webutation(.info)
    webutation(.org)
    webutations(.info)
    webutations(.org)
    www.webutation(.info)
    www.webutation(.org)
    www.webutations(.info)
    www.webutations(.org)

    when i tried to connect securely to webutations(.org), i got the "This Connection is Untrusted", "get me out of here" message from firefox along with technical details:
    "www.webutations(.org) uses an invalid security certificate" .

    so yeah, i'm having trust issues, and felt i had to finally register here and post because my concern has fallen on developers' deaf ears.

  • More customization please

    It's a good extension that really makes your browsing safer. The only thing I don't like: I can't customize the VirusTotal Toolbar (move its buttons to the other toolbars). Please improve the toolbar customization options, and then it'll be great!

  • Limitations, but still a great extension

    Really, everybody needs this extension. Makes it very convenient, very easy to do virus-scanning of downloads, a major source of vulnerability. Will probably save you the need to scan them with your own anti-virus, since it's likely on VirusTotal's roster.

  • Very useful security addon for downloads; has some limitations

    Very useful for pre-screening downloads. Initially it just gives you information based on the site. But if you're sending the actual download file URL, you can then click "Downloaded File Analysis" in the result to get an actual multi-engine antivirus scan of the file itself before you download it yourself!

    Aside from the obvious benefits of not having to download and then upload a file to VirusTotal, this also avoids the possibility that you might inadvertently upload a private file to VirusTotal. For example a file with your personal information that you were able to download from a site while logged into your account. By sending such a file to virustotal, you are in effect releasing it to a couple of dozen antimalware companies, which you might want to do. If using this extension, VirusTotal will only be able to access public URLs so you don't have that risk.

    Sometimes it doesn't work if the "download" URL merely redirects to the actual file URL, or if it uses parameters and/or no explicit file extension. It would be nice if it could be smarter about those.

    I hide the annoying toolbar. Unfortunately you can't drag its buttons or fields onto another toolbar, but I get the same functionality with two bookmarklets.

    It would be nice if we could right-click on an existing download in the download manager and send its original URL directly to VirusTotal. In the meantime we can right-click on the download and Copy Download Link and paste it into the vtzilla toolbar field or an equivalent bookmarklet prompt field.

    Also it would be nice if we could automatically send every download URL to virustotal while downloading it, if we don't choose to explicitly send it to virustotal before downloading. Better for virustotal to check it while or just after downloading than not at all.

    How about checking the current page URL automatically in the background?

    Maybe checking a link URL automatically while hovering over it for a bit? Or at least automatically checking every distinct *site* linked to on the current page (check with a site-level URL).

  • Great, but ...

    Right-click link, nice. Download check, great. Toolkit-toolbar... would be nicer if movable: takes that worthy vertical space for 300px or so of horizontal occupation. I'd love to move that toolkit on another toolbar, say e.g. next to urlbar, or on bookmarks bar. The philosophy of Firefox is flexibility, VTzilla please do participate also to that aim :)

  • Malware sites can be loaded in the background and without user intervention after which JS/Shellcode can be downloaded to the browser cache and executed if the system isn't fully patched. Therefore, users shouldn't develop a degree of complacency just because VTZilla give a particular site a clean bill of health.

    It's still a useful add-on to have though.
