Seems that when the exe is running and uploading by VirusTotalUploader, the error will occur. Whereas if not running when being uploaded, everything works well, at least for this sample file.

I have the same thought at first, but later I've found several exe files (tested 7zFM.exe - the GUI for 7-Zip) not running but failed to upload. So I think this is not the cause, or at least not the only cause.

I am testing this issue. It is right that it happens when you have file opened. I just added check for file read access. The problem is that now I can´t contact official API even with their example python commands. Maybe it´s down now? I am trying to fix it. Thank you for your reports. If you find something else interesting tell me.

Edit: Even official API documentation is not working correctly.

@SamuelTulach I'm not sure if it's you hitting the rate-limit? At the moment I can still use the app, only not from context menu. From VirusTotal website:

And it says you can get more requests with a private API key.

@zypA13510 Thank you. I know about the limit, but no I am not hitting it. I even tried diffrent API keys and the server is not responding even on my VPS server. It´s really weird. I contacted VirusTotal support and they checked my key, the result is that it should work with no problem. Weird.

I had the same error. I didn't add to context menu and enter API key, but I don't think that's the point.

Probably fixed by #15.
