You can test a link using Browserling.

Yes that works great. Thanks. However it doesn't let you know if it's dodgy does it?

thanks for clarifying
ESET and Kaspersky among others i never heard of said it's safe , then Bitdefender and some others i never heard of says its malicious , to me it looks like a roll of the dice ?
i can understand if a few well known AV's says its unsafe then its unsafe .
but this mixtures of results isn't helping if you know what i mean
personally if i see 2-3 results (no matter who it comes from) unsafe , i skip that link
plus the way the email is constructed / worded , is also a giveaway ...

its depending on factors, the model for a long time was heuristics patterns so the malware detection was following patterns, a phishing page like the one described is not inherently good or bad its just grey hat in nature. Therefore some engines may deem it as no risk.

A engine using Ai detection is going to see it as nefarious because its trained to see it that way.

Bottom line is if you get more than one hit then its no good, realistically there should be no hits on VS for something to be peace of mind, at discretion though because using common sense things can still be nefarious in nature just not a imminent threat.
Like that example page earlier is not necessarily dangerous even though it is data mining you if you enter real credentials.

hits of false positive would be situational depending on consensus and company reputation etc. Whether or not the app or what ever is open or closed source.

if its an email and not from something important then head the warning because on a legit email there should be none all green

for example a link from steam scanned
VirusTotal

you can see it is all green the ones that reported back, you can also look further in the details tab that it lines up to what it is portraying itself to be in the email.

if the details tab was incoherent in a way where it does not look to match the sort of thing you are made to believe in the email then its discrepancy and questionable between the two. This is also not easy way to tell sometimes but clearly from this information i can see various signs that the link is taking me to somewhere i think it is.

Looks like my website is legit. LOL VirusTotal

I wonder who rated it...

uhm , 1 dumbass found you to be "suspicious"

Because you scanned the virus total link itself, the actual domain comes back clean.
