A blog post on Virus Total's website confirms Google has acquired it. Although the amount paid by Google for the acquisition is not known, the move gives the search giant a resource tool to keep its products and services protected from malware. VirusTotal is a free online service for scanning files and URLs to spot viruses, worms, trojans and other malicious content detected by antivirus engines and website scanners. Elaborating on the recent turn of events, VirusTotal writes in its blog post, “Our goal is simple: to help keep you safe on the web. And we’ve worked hard to ensure that the services we offer continually improve. But as a small, resource-constrained company, that can sometimes be challenging.”
