I would like to ask you to read what the chat gpt wrote to me about virustotal, where I made a bold italic text, so that you should read “hero”
VirusTotal is a valuable tool for scanning files, URLs, and other items for potential malicious content using multiple antivirus engines and online scanners. However, it is not completely correct or infallible. Here are some key points to consider:
Strengths of VirusTotal:
- Multi-Engine Scanning: It uses a wide range of antivirus engines to provide a collective verdict.
- Quick Analysis: It offers rapid results for files and URLs.
- Community Insights: Users can provide comments and feedback, adding another layer of review.
- Threat Intelligence: It provides detailed metadata and historical records of files and URLs.
Limitations of VirusTotal:
- False Positives: Some files or URLs may be flagged as malicious by one or more engines, even if they are safe.
- False Negatives: Some malware may evade detection by all the engines used.
- Static Analysis: VirusTotal mainly relies on static signatures and metadata. It doesn't perform deep behavioral analysis like a full sandbox environment might.
- Lack of Context: VirusTotal does not consider the context in which a file or URL is used, which can be crucial for determining whether it is genuinely malicious.
- Updates: Antivirus engines update their definitions frequently, so a file marked as clean today could be flagged tomorrow—or vice versa.
Best Practices:
- Use VirusTotal as a supplementary tool, not a definitive solution.
- Cross-reference results with other security tools or services, especially if a file or URL is flagged by only a few engines.
- Conduct behavioral analysis in a controlled environment for files that require deeper inspection.
- Stay up to date on emerging threats, as no single tool can cover everything.
If you're dealing with critical data or highly sensitive environments, combining VirusTotal with other security measures is recommended.
OMG, PYTHON ALSO HAS A VIRUS AND WHAT DOES IT DO????????
Okay, I need to calm down. If virustotal says there is a virus, it doesn't have to be 100%, I have ESET antivirus, and in all the time you have millions of viruses, I haven't noticed one yet, and above is an example that virustotal says that python has a virus. DO YOU KNOW WHAT PYTHON IS? And what do you want from the antivirus in the browser?
