Easily Upload Suspicious File to VirusTotal
Author: Raymond9 May
Do you still remember 2 months ago I discovered a website that is able to scan any file with 30 antivirus engines by simply uploading it to the website? Good news is, it has increased to 32 antivirus engines now and also there’s a new method on how you can easily upload the suspicious file to VirusTotal.
Imagine you can skip the part where you open your browser, type in VirusTotal link, wait for the whole website to load and then browse for the file to upload. How about…
Just right click on the suspicious file and send to VirusTotal? There’s a built-in “Send To” function when you right click on any files which you can send the selected file to Desktop, My Documents and etc… VirusTotal has created an extension where it adds a shortcut to “Send To” VirusTotal.
All you need to do is download the 76.6KB small tool for sending samples to VirusTotal. Once installed, you’ll have the “Send to -> VirusTotal” option in the Windows contextual menu when you right-click on a file. Once the file transfer is done, a new page will automatically open on your default web browser.
I notice that I am always in queue whenever I upload any suspicious files to scan with VirusTotal. Seems like VirusTotal is getting more and more popular. Let’s hope that this service will continue to be free for a very long time.

err. we kinda need some fresh news tho
I have used housecall a couple of times this year and both times it has found a “261419481.exe” file in a temp file located in my local settings. I just tried to manually find this file through explorer and can’t do it. Trend Micro identifies it as a troj_generic file, but is unable to delete it. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated, because I can’t use Virus Tool to send it there since I am unable to manually locate the file.
