S.E. Virus Detect service bot
In short
A one-tap habit worth building: before opening a strange file from a chat, forward it to this bot. We appreciate that it openly calls itself unofficial, but do not treat it as a full antivirus.
About the bot
Chats are full of archives, so-called photos ending in .apk and short links to who knows where. S.E. Virus Detect is built for exactly that moment: forward a file or link and get a report on whether antivirus engines flagged anything.
The profile stresses that it has no official tie to VirusTotal. Going by the name, it probably pulls results from a similar multi-engine scan, but the description does not say how the analysis works. We would read the result as a hint rather than a verdict.
Privacy is the main caveat. Whatever you submit goes to a third-party service, and multi-engine scanners often share uploaded files with security researchers. So keep contracts, passport scans and work documents out of it, however tempting a quick check may be.
Limits and paid features are not mentioned; the project only points to a news channel. For the everyday question of whether to open something, that is usually enough, but it does not replace proper protection on your phone and computer.
