by claustromaniac, 7 years agoInitial review (v2.0.1):
This is a very handy extension, especially for users that prefer (and can afford to) take proactive security measures where possible.
To the developer(s): Consider changing the default settings in this new version so that they are more in line with what is stated in the privacy policy. Querying VirusTotal on every download should be opt-in, not opt-out.
Update (v2.1.1):
I see that you folks decided to change the privacy policy instead, so I guess my review was productive in a way. I can still recommend VirusTotal as a service for scanning files found in the net (because it can be very useful sometimes), but I will no longer recommend this extension.
