VirusTotal is one of the best online service that is provided for free to everyone. It is an online file scanner that allows you to upload any suspicious file to have it scanned using 41 different antivirus software with the latest virus definitions. If you find that uploading file to VirusTotal is a hassle, you can always use their uploader program that works on Windows. Simply right click on the file, go to Send To and finally select VirusTotal from the list. The uploader program will automatically send the file to VirusTotal without you opening your web browser, typing virustotal.com in the URL bar and wait for the website to load.

The VirusTotal Uploader has been recently updated to version 2.0 and it has a couple of major improvements to make it even faster and better.


First of all, you are now able to upload up to 5 files at a time, which comes in handy in case of multiple-file malware queries. Additionally, the file limit has been increased to 20 MB (previously 10MB) per file.

Secondly, VirusTotal Uploader version 1.0 only allows you to send the file to VirusTotal using right click context-menu but now it has an independent standalone program! In this mode, you can upload files to VirusTotal in a few ways:

1. Select an executable process that is active in Windows
2. Drag and drop up to 5 files to the program
3. Manually browse for the file in your computer
4. Enter an URL address with a suspicious file that will automatically “Get and upload”.

Another improvement to the latest VirusTotal Uploader 2.0 is a pre-upload check if the file is already present in the VirusTotal database. In this version, the Uploader calculates a hash of the file before uploading it, and checks if it appears in the database. If so, the file doesn’t get uploaded, saving both time and transfer. Of course, you are still able to force the uploading of the file for reanalysis.

If you are the adventures type that likes download a lot of dangerous programs such as keygen, cracks, patches, trojans, crypter, binder and etc, then you should definitely use VirusTotal Uploader. This program does not take up any system resource at all when it is not running. Another advantage in using a desktop uploading tool is the transfer rate speed is definitely faster than uploading from web browser.

      This is really good news.

      I’m a confessed frequent uploader to VirusTotal, not for any reason other than I keep trying new, hardly heard-of tools and applications.

      Thanks, Raymond.

      I have made this into a portable application if anybody would like to run it without installing & having the shortcut menu installed into their ‘send-to’ menu.

      Uploads seems to work ok but browser doesn’t open after this to see the results.
      Anyone else having this problem?

      @Robert: Try checking if your favorite browser has been set as the “default browser”.

      If you’re using Firefox as your main web browser, at Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Advanced, click the Check Now button.

      If Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options > Programs, click the Make Default button.

      This is a great news and 20 MB memory size is also good. For bigger files, we may use splitters and send those files to Virus Total. Most of the antivirus programs are bulky so online scanning is really going to stay for long.

      Thanks for sharing this update.
