[QUOTE="Lightning_Brian, post: 1032184, member: 65620"] Howdy MalwareTips Friends! So many of you use GlassWire a firewall and network monitor tool that has been around the block for a bit now. For those of you who upgraded to the most recent version you were greeted with a wonderful surprise - VirusTotal that was working like a charm within the program has now ceased to work properly! Let me explain a bit what's going on here! First, let me give some background... I have been a proud (still am just sad/flustered) user of GlassWire now for several years. Around mid February I noticed after patching GlassWire to the latest patch that VirusTotal (VT) wasn't functioning correctly. I thought it was just a fluke and didn't mind for a few days, but then after doing a Dr. Google search I found that many others like myself is experiencing the same issue. [B][U]NOT GOOD![/U][/B] I went onto the Forums for GlassWire and discovered the following post: [URL="https://forum.glasswire.com/t/virus-total-stopped-working/14883/10"]Virus Total stopped working[/URL] As we can see the issue took a hot minute for the GlasWire team to 'fix' which ended up being that folks cannot use GlassWire with VT anymore without using their own personal API key.
