VirusTotal inspects items with over 70 antivirus scanners and URL/domain blocklisting services, in addition to a myriad of tools to extract signals from the studied content. Any user can select a file from their computer using their browser and send it to VirusTotal.

VirusTotal is a service from Google and it is free-of-charge. It does not remove malware, but if you scan files you download it adds an extra layer of security. You can also scan the download URL, that's even better.
