An independent developer's bot that wraps VirusTotal's public multi-engine scanning for links and files. Not run by Google/VirusTotal itself — a convenient unofficial front-end, similar in spirit to third-party wrappers around other public APIs.
This bot's own profile is upfront about who runs it: "Owner: @Borya_Abramovich_B," alongside two sibling bots the same developer maintains. It is not affiliated with Google or the real VirusTotal service — it is an independent wrapper that relays whatever you send it to VirusTotal's public scanning API, which checks a file or link against 70+ antivirus engines at once, and relays the verdict back into the chat.
That "many engines at once" approach is genuinely useful: a single antivirus vendor's bot (like Dr.Web's) only tells you what its own engine thinks, while a VirusTotal-style aggregator shows you a consensus across dozens of vendors, which is more informative when a file sits in an ambiguous "some engines flag it, most don't" zone.
Being an unofficial wrapper by a single named individual rather than a company means less institutional accountability than Dr.Web's own bot — if it goes offline or changes hands, there's no corporate support line behind it. Use it the same way you would the public virustotal.com website: as a second opinion, not a substitute for keeping your antivirus and OS up to date, and be mindful that whatever you upload becomes part of VirusTotal's shared scanning corpus.

No — it is an independent developer's bot that relays checks to VirusTotal's public API; it is not run by Google or VirusTotal itself.
No — like the public virustotal.com site, uploaded files may be shared with the security research community, so avoid sending anything containing private data.
