🧠 How It Works

1. The scanner traverses a directory recursively.
2. Each file is hashed using SHA-256.
3. The hash is compared against a database of known malware signatures.
4. If a match is found:
   • The file is flagged as malicious
   • It is moved to a quarantine folder
   • The event is logged
