I just tried to upload a 3GB file to VirusTotal to see it exceeds the 500mb limit.
I was wondering, which online scanners work with files of any size?

What kind of file is 3GB and may contain viruses? That usually means it’s an archive or disk image and you might be better off unpacking it before submission.

An exe - an adobe installer, which does unpack during installation but the file itself is an exe and thus needs scanning
