Virustotal is great at what it does and that's why people don't want to use it for some stuff here. They distribute submissions to antiviruses so if you're uploading a stub from a crypter or anything that is supposed to be hard to detect, it will start getting detected.

If you are just looking to see if a file is clean or not virustotal is a good tool

Virustotal is great but it spreads the file across other scanners. That's why crypters tell you not to upload to VirusTotal.

VirusTotal is a great service and I do not see why anyone would dislike it. I use it all the time and many posts use it. If you need a alternative to VirusTotal I would recommend Metascan Online, VirSCAN, Jotti, and NoVirusThanks.

All online scanners that did not distribute are unavailable (scan4u, viruscheckmate, nodistribute, majyx) while we cannot use virustotal for obvious reasons.
I am thinking about setting up my own server for online virus scanning..
