Virus Total (unofficial)

Virus Total (unofficial)

@VirusTotal52bot
FreeMULTI

An independent developer's bot that wraps VirusTotal's public multi-engine scanning for links and files. Not run by Google/VirusTotal itself — a convenient unofficial front-end, similar in spirit to third-party wrappers around other public APIs.

Key features

  • Checks files and links against 70+ antivirus engines via VirusTotal
  • Owner identity disclosed in the bot's own profile
  • Sibling bots from the same developer (video downloader, AI chat)
  • Simple send-and-get-verdict interaction

Virus Total (unofficial)

This bot's own profile is upfront about who runs it: "Owner: @Borya_Abramovich_B," alongside two sibling bots the same developer maintains. It is not affiliated with Google or the real VirusTotal service — it is an independent wrapper that relays whatever you send it to VirusTotal's public scanning API, which checks a file or link against 70+ antivirus engines at once, and relays the verdict back into the chat.

That "many engines at once" approach is genuinely useful: a single antivirus vendor's bot (like Dr.Web's) only tells you what its own engine thinks, while a VirusTotal-style aggregator shows you a consensus across dozens of vendors, which is more informative when a file sits in an ambiguous "some engines flag it, most don't" zone.

Being an unofficial wrapper by a single named individual rather than a company means less institutional accountability than Dr.Web's own bot — if it goes offline or changes hands, there's no corporate support line behind it. Use it the same way you would the public virustotal.com website: as a second opinion, not a substitute for keeping your antivirus and OS up to date, and be mindful that whatever you upload becomes part of VirusTotal's shared scanning corpus.

How to start

  1. Open @VirusTotal52bot in Telegram
  2. Send a file (up to 20MB) or a link to check
  3. Wait for the multi-engine scan result
  4. Treat the verdict as a second opinion, not a final word

No — it is an independent developer's bot that relays checks to VirusTotal's public API; it is not run by Google or VirusTotal itself.
