📝 Developer Comments

• Item Not Found: If VirusTotal returns “Item not found,” this indicates that the IP, domain, URL, or hash has not been previously scanned or cached in VirusTotal’s database. In such cases:
  • Users can manually upload files or submit URLs directly to VirusTotal’s website for analysis.
• No Automatic Scans: This extension does not automatically scan or upload files to VirusTotal. It provides quick access to existing scan results.
