Google announced VirusTotal's new service: VirusTotal Monitor. The new service is not free, and is designed to provide the company's customers with daily reports on the archives that have been loaded into the service.
One of the main goals of VirusTotal Monitor is to mitigate false positives. We call false positives "alarms" false positives detection κακόβουλου κώδικα σε αρχεία. Τα false positives είναι ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα προβλήματα για εταιρείες λογισμικού ασφάλειας αλλά και για τελικούς χρήστες.
The software may not be installed on user computers if false positives occur and developers lose customers and their reliability.
In short, the false positives messages-warnings negatively affect everyone involved. So Google has been trying to limit false positives since 2015 with the Trusted Source project.
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 alerts companies if any of their scanning engines detect malware, potentially unwanted software, or any other problem that should not exist.
So companies and developers can react immediately and resolve serious or non-severe themebefore 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.
