Commandline Virus Scanner

A simple virus scanner utilising VirusTotal public API. It's run as a script taking file paths separated with commas as arguments.

Features

Quickly scan files (including archives?) downloaded from the Internet without opening them on your computer. VirusTotal runs multiple scans with dozens of antivirus programmes and checks if a file is safe to use. It's all done in a matter of seconds (read more about VirusTotal )

How do you use it:

  • GUI- should go without saying, otherwise I did a really poor job.
  • command line
  1. ...
  2. ...
  3. ...

Prerequisites

  • Python 3 installed
  • VirusTotal public API (it's free, but you need to register an account)
  • Internet connection is necessary when you want to scan a file
  • Add to system PATH (optional):
  • on
  • on
  • on Linux
