Although I havent much of an idea,it will be a pretty tough thing to do.To start with you must have a good knowledge of the various viruses around and some facility to update that database each day as new viruses are being found.Also there must be a scanning mechanism while looks into your HD and scans all the files in there for these viruses.Imo its too much to do,and even if you did learn how to do all of it,it would take a long time to make it and hence freeware wouldnt be ideal.

Ok but anybody give me url of Making Antivirus Guide PLZ

 

[sohum]

Google is the only place I can point you. I don't think your search will be fruitful, because someone might as well make an antivirus software rather than write a guide for how to do it. Especially since there are paid and free versions of good antivirus software available.

I m not find in Google

Hmm...answering this question helpfully I would say search some open source communities for code that has already been written, then adapt that.

Have a look here . Click "security" in the topics then search for "antivirus". ClamWin Free Antivirus is one of these. Then find a source package (like "clamwin-0.88.2.3-src.zip") and download it. Source should be inside, albeit in another language (in this case, C++/Python). Now just port this, making your own adjustments.

There are three drawbacks to this:
1) According to the terms of the GPL, you will have to credit the original developers of the source you use
2) Actually, you are fairly restricted by a lot of things in the GPL
3) Its not easy to port C++ code to VB6, even if you know C++

Hope that helps.

Are you serious about coding an Anti-Virus in VB. VB doesnt seem to me as the right choice of programming language for this job, C++ is what you should use if you are serious about it.

Moreover, it would require loads of time, plus regular updation. It would need lots of things, like auto updation etc. You will need to identify each and every file and look for virus signatures which may be in any hidden form !

 

[AbBh]

It's not a one man job mainly because you need to provide constant updates. Certain infected executables are also encrypted or packed to fool the anti-virus programs. So an anti-virus must also be able to unpack and unencrypt the files before scanning it. Obviously its easy for well known packers and encryptors but a smart virus programmer generally writes his own packer to prevent detection.

Supriya you said you want to code AntiVirus Software using VB 6 and if the version you are using is Virus corrupted then

Anyway good luck.

1 Question from where will you get the virus definations.
