Google has announced the new VirusTotal service: VirusTotal Monitor. The new service is not free, and is designed to provide company customers with daily reports of files uploaded to the service.
One of the main goals of VirusTotal Monitor is to mitigate false positives. We call false positives "alarms" false positives detection malicious code in files. False positives are one of the biggest problems for Companies security software but also for end users.
The software may not be installed on user computers if false positives occur and developers lose customers and their reliability.
In short, false positive messages—proalerts επηρεάζουν αρνητικά όλους όσους εμπλέκονται. Η Google λοιπόν προσπαθεί να περιορίσει τα ψευδή θετικά από το 2015 με το project Trusted source.
VirusTotal Monitor is another attempt at the same problem. Basically, what Google is doing with the new service is that it's offering monitoring (paid) on files uploaded to VirusTotal, for extra checking. So software development companies can check their application libraries through VirusTotal automatically and on a regular basis.
VirusTotal generates reports and notifies companies if any of its scanning engines detect malicious proletterthe, potentially unwanted software or some other problem that shouldn't be there.
So companies and developers can react directly and resolve serious or non-serious issues before they reach the end user.
The keyword that describes the main advantage of VirusTotal Monitor is automation. Files are scanned automatically and developers and companies are automatically updated for each crawl.
