    Despite the fact that it is a program that monitors work at all times, I have not felt that it violates my privacy and hinders my work or makes it impossible for me to do so. For this and because it looks phenomenal when acting, I give it a 9 and I recommend the final consumer to try it to give an extra barrier to checking their emails in detection of extra malware that their antivirus does not do.

    VirusTotal is perfectly suited as a tool to help security professionals analyze files and URLs that require further analysis to determine security risks in the environment. It truly is a must-have in this world we live in!

    • I'm not sure VirusTotal can improve this themselves but just keeping up with the evolving "known" threat landscape is tough so even though VirusTotal is very good, nothing is 100% effective in this space.

    more than against them is to complement secure solution adding one more layer to filter more threats with NordLayer connection secure gateways on internet !!!
