See Steffen's answer as to why this might be a bad idea. However, you can still send hashes of the files to VirusTotal which can match known malware samples already in VT but won't detect new or modified malware — BlueCacti. GroundZero Sending file hashes may be dangerous, too. For instance, it is easy for VT to determine which users have a copy of a certain porn movie on their hard disk. Add a comment.

See also their Privacy Policy which clearly says: Information we share When you submit a file to VirusTotal for scanning, we may store it and share it with the anti-malware and security industry Files, URLs, comments and any other content submitted to or shared within VirusTotal may also be included in premium private services offered by VirusTotal to the anti malware and ICT security industry Still, I think that your idea of offering a simpler access to a useful service directly from the mail client makes sense.

Yes, there is a commercial tool won't say names out there that got some attention because they had an option to upload files and attachments to virus total, some companies realized some of their sensitive data was being exposed.
I know some companies will just upload and check hashes instead — nd Example for Python 3. Navigate to Didier Stevens virustotal-search. On top of the page Right Click the [Raw] button and [Save link as].

You send emails with a file attachment to the service and get a report soon thereafter as a reply. The email is returned by the recipient's email address [email protected] and uses the subject [VirusTotal] Server notification.
It lists file information -- name, size, md5 and sha1 hashes -- and results of all supported engines. Each engine is listed with its name, version, and last update date. Email scanning is quite handy at times, e. Third-party applications like Winja VirusTotal Uploader or. It is better, usually, to use Virustotal directly or through a program as you don't run into any of the limitations that way. Sometimes however, email scanning may come in handy.
But it leaves me with only one question: Main Eset internet security software supplies a built-in function which scans incoming email on the presence of all kind of zero-day attacks exploits, hijacks, malware, trojans, virus, etc. I like Virustotal as a second-opinion scanner.
Say, Eset does not detect anything but you want confirmation that a file is clean before you execute it on your system. A scan on VT could give you the reassurance that it is probably safe to run. Does anyone have an alternative to Virustotal context menu integration? YOu know, how in W10 you can just right-click file and send to get results?
Does Winja or anyone else have that?? I always do a Virus Total scan before I install anything.
