Purpose of 'VTScan' #11

Hi,

I was wondering what is the purpose of calling VTscan when the model reports phishing (code). Since it has no influence on the phishing detection result, I guess it just serves as an additional information?

Thanks.

Yes, it has no influence. We just want to check how many zero-day phishing we have reported, i.e., not reported by VirusTotal.
