🔍 Scanning: https://google.com
------------------------------------------------------------
Checking VirusTotal...

============================================================

🎯 How It Works

1. User enters URL → Script adds https:// if needed
2. VirusTotal scan → Checks against 90+ antivirus engines
3. Gemini analysis → AI evaluates URL safety
4. Combined verdict → Shows:
   • ✅ SAFE (both agree it's safe)
   • 🔴 NOT SAFE / SUSPICIOUS (threat detected)
   • 🟡 UNCERTAIN (conflicting results)
5. Confidence level → High/Medium/Low based on agreement

📊 Confidence Levels

Level	Meaning
🟢 High	Both VirusTotal and Gemini agree
🟡 Medium	One or both sources are uncertain
🔴 Low	Insufficient data from sources

📝 Results Logging

All scan results are automatically saved to scan_results.log:
