Features

1. Virus Detection and Removal:

   • Scans files and folders for known viruses using MD5 hash comparison.
   • Provides an option to delete infected files.

2. RAM Optimization:

   • Monitors current memory usage.
   • Boosts available memory to enhance system performance.

3. Junk File Removal:

   • Identifies temporary and unnecessary files based on extensions.
   • Allows users to selectively delete junk files from specific folders.

4. Interactive User Interface:

   • Command-line menu for easy navigation and execution of features.

5. Custom Virus Hash Database:

   • Uses a preloaded file (hash.txt) containing virus MD5 hashes for detection.

File Structure

• bit_protect.py: Main program script.
• hash.txt: File containing known virus MD5 hash values.
• Other folders/files: Files and directories to be scanned.

---

Known Issues and Limitations

• The Scan and Delete a File feature is not yet fully implemented.
• May not detect all types of malware due to reliance on MD5 hashes.

---

Future Enhancements

1. Implement scanning for single files.
2. Add support for SHA-256 hashes for enhanced security.
3. Improve the RAM optimization algorithm.
4. Add a detailed logging mechanism for scan results.
5. Develop a GUI for easier usability.
