Download Virus Checker

What is Download Virus Checker?

The Download Virus Checker is an extension that automatically scans all downloaded files through a network of 68 online anti-virus solutions. It integrates with the VirusTotal service to analyze each download link and provide a comprehensive report on the file's safety. When the extension detects a potentially suspicious file, based on a configurable threshold of positive responses from the anti-virus providers, it presents a warning window to the user with details on the scan results. This allows users to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the download or not, without the need for manual intervention
