Is Virus Checker for Downloads safe?
Virus Checker for Downloads sends non-whitelisted download URLs to VirusTotal for reputation scanning.
When a download starts, the extension queues its URL unless the file type matches the user's whitelist. It posts the URL with the user's VirusTotal API key to VirusTotal's scan endpoint, then later asks VirusTotal for the scan report using the returned scan ID.
