S.E. Virus Detect bot

Downloaded a program from a forum, got an archive "from a supplier" or found a suspicious link? One antivirus can miss a threat that others catch. S.E. Virus Detect sends your file or link to many antiviruses at once. 🔬

Seventy opinions instead of one

According to the bot's description, it runs on the API of an online multi scanner and checks submissions with 70 different antiviruses. Multi scanning is simple: if several engines flag a threat, there is more reason to worry.

It beats feeding a file through different programs one by one. You send everything to one place and get a summary.

An unofficial bot

The profile honestly warns that this is not an official bot of the service whose API it uses. It was built by an independent team on top of someone else's scanning technology.

Remember the difference. The bot is independent of the multi scanning service, so its handling of your files is decided by its own author. ⚠️

Three commands

• /start restarts the bot and returns you to the beginning.
• /info shows additional information.
• /privacy opens the privacy policy.

Getting started: launch the bot, send a file or a link and wait for the result. Project news goes out through a separate channel.

How to read the report

A multi scan result is not a verdict but a set of opinions. Typical situations:

1. Clean across the board. A good sign, though not a guarantee: fresh threats may be unknown to the databases.
2. One or two detections out of 70. Often false positives, especially on utilities and cracked software. Look at which engines reacted.
3. Many detections. Delete the file and do not run it.

The threat name in the report hints at the type: trojan, adware, miner. Search for it before you decide.

What not to send

Any uploaded file lands on third party servers. Contracts, passports, document photos, work databases and anything you would not show strangers should stay out. 🔒

• Confidential documents. Check them with a local antivirus.
• Personal photos and scans. Malware rarely hides there, and a leak is costly.
• Files under NDA. Breaking the agreement causes more trouble than a potential virus.

Read the bot's privacy policy before uploading anything important.

Who finds it handy

People who download software from the internet, chat admins, and anyone who wants a quick second opinion on an attachment. The bot does not replace device antivirus or safe habits. 🛡️

Malware often arrives as "documents", "invoices" and "updates". If a file is unexpected, check it before opening.
