OPSWAT File Security for Chrome

Really impressed with this malware scanner service!

I had been using their scanning service at www.metadefender.com, where you just drag and drop a suspicious file onto their upload page, where it's scanned by some 43 different antivirus engines.

Among its roster are most of the heavy hitters in the Anti-Virus industry: Bit Defender, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Symantec, Sophos, TrendMicro.

Since AV engines all have different definition sets, one engine may not catch a virus, while another one will. When a file is cleared by all 43 virus scans, you know it's secure.

This plugin effectively does what their webpage does, but removes extra steps by automatically uploading a copy of your suspicious file to their server.

I'm even more impressed when it does catch a virus, because you get 43 'second' opinions on what kind of virus it is, with the result listed by each company

It's a phenomenally powerful service. I would have given it 5 stars, except that sometimes the scan results page hangs - however it's easily fixed by refreshing the page.

Jo cucc.

De ha ugy mukodik, ahogy lattam, akkor zabalja a netet + nem eleg biztonsagos, mert:

letolti a fajlt, amit akarok.
Kozben mar vizsgalodik, de ugy, hogy visszatolti a fajl masolatat a netre.
Es kiirja az eredmenyt.
(En igy lattam.)

Igy lenne jo:
Eloszor vizsgalna es utana eredmeny; es megkerdezne, hogy letoltom e.

Took a few hours to get my free OPSWAT API key, but once I got it, and applied the key per the instructions, the metascan extension worked as advertised. It provides another means of protecting computers from the nasties lurking out there! Very nice extension!!!

Trés efficace pour scanner des fichiers par un pannel d'antivirus.
Une manière optimale pour assurer sa securité
