Google has released VirusTotal Uploader for OS X, a Mac version of the popular utility for Windows that lets users upload files for scanning.
Today we are proud to announce a new VirusTotal Uploader for OS X. It is available for download on our Desktop Applications page. Internally it uses our public API to schedule uploads of files, with the exact same limitations that any public API user would experience.
Features: ● Drag and drop a file to the VirusTotal Uploader in order to scan it with over 50 antivirus solutions. ● Drag and drop a folder to the VirusTotal Uploader and schedule the analysis of its content. ● Drag and drop a Mac application to the VirusTotal Uploader. ● Allow you to "Open With" in finder the VirusTotal Uploader to scan a file.
Karl Hiramoto, a Technical Solutions Consultant at Google working on VirusTotal says, "Hopefully this will lead to VirusTotal receiving more Mac applications, diving deeper into an increasingly targeted OS by attackers and allowing antivirus companies and researchers making use of VirusTotal's backend to build stronger defenses against these threats."
VirusTotal was acquired by Google in September 2012.

Help for free!!? I don't think so. You better think twice before downloading or uploading with Google or Samshit stuffs. They are the famous giant thieves in disguise. I'm not convinced with their products... Sorry.
