Improve README clarity and update API key instructions. Enhance .gitignore to exclude additional files and directories.

Add support for scanning multiple files and scheduling regular scans.

* **Program.cs**: Modify `VirusScanFile` method to accept multiple file paths and iterate through them for scanning. Add detailed feedback after a scan, including the number of positive detections and the total number of scans. Implement specific error messages and retry logic for network-related errors.
* **FileShellExtension.cs**: Minor formatting change.
* **README.md**: Update instructions to reflect new features, including configuring the API key directly from the application and scheduling regular scans.
* **Scheduler.cs**: Add new class to handle scheduling of regular scans for specific files or directories. Implement enhanced scheduling options, including specific times for scans, options to scan at system startup or shutdown, and custom intervals. Provide a user-friendly interface for scheduling, including a dedicated scheduling tab, calendar view, and tooltips. Add advanced scheduling features, including multiple schedules for different files, skipping scans on battery power, and pausing/resuming scheduled scans.

Comments:

  • readme mentions progressbar / spinner, but I don't see the code for it?
  • I like the support for multiple files.
  • I don't think scheduled scans has a place in a context menu scanner. It would make sense for another application, such as a background application with an icon in the System Tray (icons next to the clock on the start menu bar)
