Starting from Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016 the "Antimalware Scan Interface" is available as a native API which allows programs that run on Windows to invoke an Antivirus to scan a payload for malware.
The API may be useful for servers to inspect payloads before passing them on, such as email servers and many more.
This crate is a safe wrapper around the native WinAPI. The following functions are used: * AmsiInitialize * AmsiUninitialize * AmsiOpenSession * AmsiCloseSession * AmsiScanString * AmsiScanBuffer
Add amsi as a dependency to your project.

println!("This file is malicious!");
} else {
