Upload any file and scan it with 70+ antivirus engines simultaneously. Get a complete threat report in under 30 seconds — no software to install.
Scan a File Now — FreeNo single AV catches everything
Every antivirus product has blind spots. Malware authors test their code against popular AV before releasing it. Using 70+ engines closes that gap dramatically.
Cross-vendor consensus
When multiple independent engines flag the same file, you can be very confident it is malicious. When all engines are clean, your confidence in the file increases significantly.
Real-time databases
Each engine uses continuously updated signature databases. We query all of them simultaneously so you get the most current threat intelligence in one place.
Email attachments
The #1 delivery method for malware. Even if it's from someone you know — their account may have been compromised.
Software downloads
Including from seemingly legitimate sites. Malware is routinely bundled with free software, media players, and browser extensions.
Files from messaging apps
WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord are increasingly used to deliver malware disguised as images, videos, or documents.
USB drives from others
USB drives can carry malware that spreads the moment the drive is inserted. Always scan before opening any file.
Cracked or pirated software
Malware is almost universally present in cracked software. The "free" version always has a hidden cost.
Anything that triggered a browser warning
If your browser warned you about a download, take that seriously. Scan it before opening.

Use SafeSearchScan's free online virus scanner. Upload the file (up to 32MB for paid plans, 10MB on free), and we immediately scan it using 70+ antivirus engines including Kaspersky, Bitdefender, ESET, and more. You get a detailed threat report in under 30 seconds — no software installation needed.
SafeSearchScan uses industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) for all file uploads. Files are submitted to VirusTotal's API for scanning and are handled according to their privacy policy. Avoid uploading files containing sensitive personal data, medical records, or confidential business documents. For hash-only verification, use our File Hash Checker which never uploads your file.
Our scanner uses 70+ AV engines, which makes it far more comprehensive than any single antivirus product. If even one engine flags a file, we flag it as suspicious. The detection rate for known malware is extremely high. However, brand-new, zero-day malware may not yet be in any vendor's database. Always download software only from trusted official sources as your primary defence.
You can scan virtually any file type: executables (.exe, .msi, .dmg, .pkg), documents (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx), archives (.zip, .rar, .7z), scripts (.js, .py, .sh, .bat), APK files (Android apps), and more. The maximum file size is 10MB for free accounts and 32MB for paid plans.
Always scan: files downloaded from websites you don't fully trust, email attachments (especially .zip, .exe, .docx, .pdf), files shared via messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram), cracked or pirated software, USB drives from other people, and any file that prompted an unusual warning when downloading.
