Is Download Virus Scanner safe?
Download Virus Scanner sends each non-whitelisted downloaded URL and the user's VirusTotal API key to VirusTotal.
When a download starts, Download Virus Scanner checks its whitelist and submits the download URL to VirusTotal for scanning if the domain is not whitelisted. The extension also sends the stored VirusTotal API key with the scan request and again when requesting the scan report.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Download Virus Scanner contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
