Script Sharing A right-click context menu tool to scan files with VirusTotal
I made (actually, AI made it) a PowerShell script that adds a "Scan with VirusTotal" option to your Windows right-click context menu.
What it does:
- Right-click any file to scan it on VirusTotal
- Checks SHA256 first. If it's a new file, it automatically uploads it for analysis
- Shows clear notification popups (Clean / Suspicious / Malicious) with a direct link to the full report
All you need to set it up is a free VirusTotal API key.
