Anti-virus softwares are great but at the same time are complicated to use and they hog a lot of memory.An average user wants something faster and lighter.WCMS is capable of scanning over 500 files types(Be it an executable,a zip file,torrents or even an Image that you downloaded today) without slowing you down.Just right-click and the results appear instantly.
Currently the scanner uses virustotal API to identify malware.When you right-click to Scan a file a lot is going on under the hood.The flowchart shown below puts it in simple words.
- Virustotal API: API Docs V3.0
- Vt-py Python Library: Vt-py
- Generating md5 Checksum: Get MD5 using Python
- Adding a script to Context Menu: Add to ContextMenu
- cxFreeze: Cx Freeze
- Adding Robust Offline Detection.
- Using Datasets to Predict never-before-seen Samples: Kaggle Dataset
- Adding better offline Analysis techniques: Techniques
- Further building the system using predictions via SKlearn
Using the scanner is really simplified as this repo already contain ready to use Setups(created using Cx Freeze) to deploy directly on your windows machines. Just Click Here and download both the files.Install the installer(Make sure to install it in the default path) then extract the RAR and run the executable present inside it(This executable adds the program to windows context menu).Done!,now right click on any file and you should now be able to see the "WCSM Scan" option there.
