    How can i download a file from virustotal for free?

    VirusTotal doesn't offer regular users to download files at all. It's a free service for people to upload suspicious files and have them scanned by several antivirus softwares at once. Downloading submitted samples is possible, but only for individuals vetted by VirusTotal.

    Below is from their support area.



    1) A list of each reviewing partner and their findings. Possible findings are:


    • Undetected: The given engine does not detect the file as malicious.
    • Suspicious: The given engine flags the file as suspicious.
    • Unable to process file type: The given engine does not understand the type of file submitted and so will not produce verdicts for it.
    • Timeout: The given engine reached VirusTotal's time execution limit when processing the file and so no verdicts were recorded for it.

    Make of that what you will.

    Take a look at this PDF:

    Search it for the word "detected". I got 21 hits, some related to Virustotal.
