How To Install and Use VirusTotal to Check for Malware on Any Device
The following guide will show you How To Install and use VirusTotal to scan apps, links, and more. This will ensure any files you use on your device are virus free and malware-free.
VirusTotal is a website/application that allows users the ability to scan any file up to 550 MB for free via their online portal. This usually takes only a few seconds and you will know whether or not the file contains any malware or not.
For those wishing to scan files on their computer or other device, we can simply do so by accessing the VirusTotal website. Here we have the option to scan a File, URL, or Search.
However, VirusTotal is also available as an APK to install on a streaming device. This will allow you to scan all applications within the device and ensure they are malware free.

Here, we can scan a file or URL by selecting one of the options shown above.

KODIFIREIPTVTip: You should always use a VPN to protect your identity and security when installing any 3rd party applications. Even though these APK’s contain no malware, the developers and even your ISP can still log your IP Address.
Using a VPN will ensure your anonymity by masking your IP address making your location and information completely unknown.
