Vendors cautiously optimistic over Google buying VirusTotal

VirusTotal uses antivirus engines of more than 40 organizations to provide a Web service for scanning URLs or personal files for malware. In return, discovered malware samples are shared among members of the VirusTotal community. VirusTotal will continue to operate independently, but using Google’s massive infrastructure is expected to greatly improve the quality and power of the smaller company’s tools. Google has not said how it plans to use VirusTotal in its Chrome browser or use the technology in Bouncer, an automated system that Google uses to scan for malware in its Android app store.”]
