Understanding Your Results

Our virus check online tool gives you one of three simple answers so you know what to do next.

Official & Verified

This means the file is the real deal. We've checked it, and it's completely safe. You're good to go.

Unknown File

We haven't seen this file before. While no virus scanners found a problem, you should still be careful. Only open it if you trust where you got it from.

Potential Risk Detected

This is a warning. At least one virus scanner thinks this file is dangerous. We suggest you delete this file right away to keep your device safe.

How Our Online Virus Scan Works

Here’s how our file scanner checks your file. It’s a simple two-step check that gives you a quick, trustworthy answer.

1

Authenticity Check

First, we look at the file's special code, like a digital fingerprint. We see if this code matches any of the safe files we already know about.

2

Threat Analysis

Second, we send that special code to VirusTotal. They check it with more than 65 virus-scanning tools to see if there's any danger.

Why Use an APK Virus Scanner Before Installation?

Getting apps from unofficial stores can be risky. Malicious files are often disguised as real apps to steal your information. Using a file virus scanner or a dedicated APK virus scanner for Android *before* you install is the best way to stay safe. Our file scanner gives you that peace of mind.

Common Signs of a Mobile Virus or Malware

Did you install a new app and now your device is acting weird? Here are some common things to look out for that might mean you have a virus:

  • Sudden Battery Drain: Your device's battery dies much faster than usual.
  • Excessive Data Usage: You notice unexpected spikes in your mobile data consumption.
  • Constant Pop-Up Ads: Aggressive and intrusive ads appear everywhere, not just within apps.
  • Overheating: Your device feels unusually warm, even when idle.
  • Sluggish Performance: Apps crash frequently, and the device is slow to respond.

Online Virus Scanner: Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to upload my APK file to this virus scanner?

Yes, it's very safe. Your privacy is important to us. When you upload a file for our virus scan, it's sent over a secure line. We only find its special code and then delete the file from our system right away. We never keep or look at your files.

What is the maximum file size for this file scanner?

You can upload files as big as 150MB. If your file is bigger, you can use the checksum option instead. It's an instant virus check and you don't have to upload anything.

What is a SHA256 checksum and how do I find it?

A SHA256 checksum is like a file's own special fingerprint. No two different files have the same one. It helps us know if the file is original and safe. Your computer has built-in tools to find this fingerprint.

On Windows, you can use the Get-FileHash command in PowerShell.
On macOS or Linux, you can use the shasum -a 256 command in the Terminal.

What is VirusTotal?

VirusTotal is a free online virus checker from Google that checks files for problems. It uses more than 65 different virus scanners to create a complete safety report. We use their malware scanner tool to give you a strong and fast check.

What should I do if a potential risk is detected?

If our file virus checker shows a "Potential Risk Detected" warning, do not open or install the file. The safest thing to do is delete the file from your device right away. Only get software from places you know and trust.
