Maybe we have doubts about the security of a file that we will download from the internet.
Does it contain a virus or program that is harmful to our device?
There is an easy way to check if a file is safe for us to download onto our device. I use virus total to check if it is safe or not. You can visit this site to check. This website will analyse suspicious files, domains, IPs and URLs to detect malware and other breaches, automatically share them with the security community.
Copy the Link of File to be downloaded
If you already have a link to the file you want to download. Copy the file address by right-clicking and selecting copy link address. I used the sample download file link provided in the following article https://edugame.my.id/download-toca-life-world-mod-apk-1-53/
Paste the link on URL check field
Like the total virus website display below, there is a choice of file types to be scanned. Namely File type, URL and Search.
Choose the type of URL, then paste it in the box provided below.
Press Enter to Know the Safety Report
After the link is pasted in the box, then press enter. After pressing Enter, the website will analyze the file with the link address. And we can see the result as shown below.
See The Scan Result
From the example of the scanned file link, it looks safe, it can be seen from 90 types of checks that have passed.
