VT4Browsers extension

TIME REQUIRED

30 minutes

Google has just updated its VT4Browsers extension, which tests the security of your downloads by uploading them to the VirusTotal server and running them through 60 antivirus tools, including AVG, Avast and Sophos. The benefits of checking files online is that the antivirus engines are always up to date and they won’t conflict with any security software you’ve already installed on
