How to Use the VirusTotal Scanner
Checking a suspicious URL
Paste the full URL including https://. VirusTotal checks it against phishing, malware, and threat intelligence databases from 90+ vendors.
Verifying a file hash
Copy the MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 hash of a file and paste it here. Checks against VirusTotal's database without uploading the file — completely private.
Understanding the verdict
Malicious = 3+ engines flagged it. Suspicious = 1–2. Clean = no detections. A single flag from an obscure engine is often a false positive.
Cached vs. live results
The public API returns the most recent cached scan. If a URL was scanned weeks ago, results may be outdated. For a fresh scan, submit directly on virustotal.com.
Why check server IPs?
A flagged IP could mean your hosting provider's range is blacklisted — affecting email deliverability and browser warnings even for clean sites.
Domain reputation
Domain lookups return registrar, creation date, and reputation score. A freshly-registered domain with no history is itself a risk signal worth investigating.
Need a clean, monitored hosting environment?
UnderHost includes malware scanning, WAF protection, and proactive security monitoring on all managed plans.
Tool guide
Using VirusTotal reputation results safely
The VirusTotal scanner checks public reputation data for URLs, domains, IPs, and hashes so suspicious resources can be reviewed before users trust them.
Who it helps
- Website owners checking suspicious URLs
- Support teams reviewing abuse reports
- Administrators validating domains or IPs before action
Usage instructions
Paste a URL, domain, IP address, or file hash. Use the verdict and engine counts as a reputation signal, not as the only security decision.
Understanding the output
One detection can be a false positive, while several detections deserve urgent review. Unknown results may simply mean the item has not been widely scanned.
Why it matters for hosting
Reputation checks help hosting teams respond to malware, phishing, compromised WordPress sites, and suspicious outbound links.
