Malware scanning desktop tools

This cluster consists of desktop and web utilities focused on malware detection, often by scanning files, hashes, IPs, or URLs through services like VirusTotal, with some offering static analysis (PE inspection, YARA) or heuristic scanning and quarantine. The dated history before the index start includes only 3 entries, too thin to read a shape from. Traction is led by Malware-analysis-AsphDex (6 stars), followed by process-analyzer (1 star) and sentry (0 stars).
