The checksums are then sent to the VirusTotal service and compared with the available database of scanned objects.
VT Hash Check integrates with the Windows Explorer context menu by generating checksums (MD5 and SHA1) of the files being checked. Among the scanning mechanisms offered are solutions used in such software as Avast, AVG, BitDefender, ClamAV, Comodo, DrWeb, F-Secure, GData, Kaspersky, McAfee, NOD32, Norman, Panda, PCTools, Symantec, among others, as well as less popular software. VirusTotal analyzes the indicated files using more than 40 antivirus engines. However, the software installed on the computer does not detect any threat. VirusTotal’s service allows the user to dispel doubts in case he or she suspects that the selected file may contain malicious components. VT Hash Check is a simple tool designed to check whether a particular file has been flagged as infected on the VirusTotal service.
