Your file scan is 4 months old  >  Analysis date:   2017-10-15 08:56:24 UTC ( 4 months ago )

Have you tried doing a fresh scan?    Yea I know I am a fresh scan nag   ;D

Since you use old VT there is no rescan button, so here is how to do it

Copy the SHA from top of your file scan result (not url scan), then go to new VT  www.virustotal.com   click search tab and paste in SHA then search

When result show, click the blue button at top right and select rescan and you get fresh result   Last analysis   2018-02-13 15:43:14 UTC   ;)

Why does your VT link always show the old VT interface ?

I can only guess it has to do with the /nl/ at the end. Different webpage that may not have been fully translated and updated yet.

Edit: Google (Alphabet Inc.) owns VT? I had no idea.
