C:\path\to\vt\uploader\VirusTotalUpload2.exe file_to_upload.exe
All of the upload modes are restricted to at most 5 submissions at a time. In the case of files things are pretty much the same. The only difference is that you will have to browse for them. An easier way to send locally stored data to be verified, however, exists. The program automatically places an entry in Windows “Send To” context menu. This way all you have to do to upload a file is right click it.

Scan running processes:
It shows you a list with all processes currently running on the system. The lists all running processes, in real time, and offers the most important options within easy reach. To make it a snap for you to find a specific process the program sports some sorting options. These include arranging the running items by their name or by their ID number. Though identifying what application a process belongs to is not something easy for every user. Some malware samples keep running in the system as ordinary processes, it is what the antivirus industry calls active malware. VirusTotal uploader includes a feature to help users in identifying active malware, the Upload process executable button. When clicked, VirusTotal uploader will try to find and read the process' image file and send it to VirusTotal.


Fetch and scan an online file:
Another handy option will have VirusTotal fetch and scan an online file without you even having to download it first. Type in the URL, or right-click it and choose "Copy link location" to cut and paste it, and then click the Get and upload button.
