Red flag (with warning sign) means that more than 25% of the antiviruses have classified the file as a malware.

Yellow flag means that between 1% and 25% of the antiviruses have classified the file as malware.

A flag icon represents the status of the file in the VirusTotal database.

yy is the number of anti-malware used to scan that file.

Two numbers appear in the column: xx/yy.

In the red frame 1, the column where the VirusTotal reports are.

To know more about the rest of the feature of this window, refer to the documentation of the Hash Tool.

I will only explain the VirusTotal part here. When you click on the Compute Hash button (see image above), FileVoyager gives you the opportunity to introduce your own API key in this screen.

That’s why it’s strongly recommended that you sign up to, get your free API and use it in FileVoyager. If there’s a peak in queries, it could happen that you’re not able to get VirusTotal reports. But it means that the API key is mutualized among worldwide users. You can get rid of those limitations by purchasing a Private API at .įileVoyager comes with its own API key.

You are limited to 4 reports per minute.

When you query reports for multiple files at once, only the 4 first reports will be returned.

With a free API key, you have some limitation though: This key is all you need to use VirusTotal’s API. Once you have a valid VirusTotal Community account, you will find your personal API key in your Community profile. You just have to Sign up to VirusTotal Community.

And the click on the “Compute hashes” button.

need to be queried with one of those two algorithms’ hashes, that’s why you will not be able to deselect them. Checking that box will automatically select the SHA-1 and MD5 algorithms (see red arrows in the image below).

In the Hash Tool config, tick the Check with VirusTotal checkbox.

Open the Hash Tool (see documentation of the Hash Tool if necessary).

Select one or more files or folders in FileVoyager (if you don’t know how to select items, read this documentation page).Only the hashes are sent to, the file data is not sent.īecause we need to compute the hashes, the integration with VirusTotal is possible through the Hash Tool. To query the VirusTotal database, we need to submit to the site the hashes of the files that need to be checked. Users can also scan suspect URLs and search through the VirusTotal dataset.

Files up to 256 MB can be uploaded to the website or sent via email. Anti-virus software vendors can receive copies of files that were flagged by other scans but passed by their own engine, to help improve their software and, by extension, VirusTotal’s own capability. VirusTotal aggregates many antivirus products and online scan engines to check for viruses that the user’s own antivirus may have missed, or to verify against any false positives.

But to have an idea, here’s how it’s described in the related Wikipedia article:

With this integration, FileVoyager is able to query the VirusTotal database and report the malware potential of the submitted files. For example: nod32:clean.As of version 19.05.01, FileVoyager contains an integration with the famous site. Similarly, you can list all files not detected by some antivirus by using the keyword clean. In this case the word infected does not necessarily have to be present in the antivirus signature, it is just indicating that the file must be detected. To do this you must write the vendor prefix followed by the special keyword infected, e.g. These prefixes should preceed your keyword in order to restrict the scope of the search to a particular antivirus solution, for example: symantec:infostaler, mcafee:rahack, f_secure:virut.īy using vendor prefixes you can also search for all files detected by a given vendor, independently of the malware name. If you are looking for files detected by some specific antivirus vendor you can make use of vendor prefixes. For example: engines:'Trojan.Isbar' or engines:'zbot'. In order to focus exclusively on the antivirus results (no matter which particular engine produced the output), you should use the engines prefix. However, this kind of search will look at all indexed fields for the file, it will not only focus on the antivirus results.

The main search box also allows you to specify a full or partial malware family name ( !IK, Sality, Mydoom.R ), or any other text you want to find inside the antivirus reports.
