KENTAROH (ID: 0000007a76b58e72) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/26/2021 「WindowsDefender」のみをセキュリティソフトとして導入している方にお勧めです。Googleの運営するVirusToolというマルウェア検索エンジンを使用してインストールしようとしているソフトウェアが安全かどうかを自動で判断してくれます。 ただし、有効にするためには「アカウント登録とAPIキーの入力」が必要です。英語ページのため英語のため翻訳ソフトを使って登録することをお勧めします。そしてAPIキーは「ログイン後の画面右上」にあるプロフィールアイコンをクリックすると「API Key」という項目があります。
