This is a simple Python program that allows you to scan a file for viruses using the VirusTotal API.

• Python 3.x
• PySimpleGUI
• requests

1. Sign up for a VirusTotal API key.

2. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/virus-scanner.git
   

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install PySimpleGUI requests
   

1. Open the command prompt by pressing the Windows key + R and typing cmd, then press Enter.
2. Type setx /M VT_API_KEY <your-api-key> and press Enter. This will set the VT_API_KEY environment variable to your API key.
3. Verify that the environment variable has been set correctly by typing echo %VT_API_KEY% and pressing Enter. This should print the value of the VT_API_KEY environment variable.

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type export VT_API_KEY=<your-api-key> and press Enter. This will set the VT_API_KEY environment variable to your API key.
3. Verify that the environment variable has been set correctly by typing echo $VT_API_KEY and pressing Enter. This should print the value of the VT_API_KEY environment variable.

To run the program, navigate to the directory where the scanner.py script is located and run:

python scanner.py

The program will open a window with a button to select a file for scanning. Once you select a file and click the "Scan" button, the program will send the file to VirusTotal for scanning and print out the results.

If you find a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue on GitHub. Any assistance in improving the script will be helpful.
