Google has announced its new service VirusTotal: the VirusTotal Monitor. The new service is not free, and is designed to provide the company's customers with daily reports on files uploaded to the service.
One of the main goals of VirusTotal Monitor is to mitigate false positives. "Alarms" false positives, we call the incorrect detection of malicious code in files. False positives are one of the biggest problems for security software companies 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 warnings negatively affect all those involved. So Google is trying to limit the false positives from 2015 with the Trusted Source project.
VirusTotal Monitor is another attempt to tackle the same problem. Basically, what Google is doing with the new service is that it offers monitoring payment) in the files uploaded to VirusTotal, for additional control. This way software developers 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 immediately and resolve serious or non-severe themebefore they reach the end user.
The word-key describing VirusTotal Monitor's main advantage is automation. Files are automatically scanned and developers and companies are automatically notified of each detection.
