Starting AV Team

Yes just like my thread name says, i am putting together a team of coders to begin creating an MPGH themed anti-virus software, anyone on the team will receive full credit for helping code it. If you are interested please PM me. If interested, in the PM have

Post Your Thoughts/Comments below

I just PM'ed you, although it's not much I can do for and Anti-Virus, but still a little help

I doubt you guys will be able to do it. If you are gonna code this by yourselves, its probably gonna be very hard, if not impossible to do. You need to know how a virus works, and how to detect/remove them. Thats just the base. You need to give DAILY updates, and you need to get the most recent/uptodate virus info. If you cant make a virus, you probably cant make a Virus Scanner.

Well i can make a virus, and the first build will be a very basic scanner. It will just scan for 1500 known Virus paths. Although unless it is a really popular program i dont think daily updates will be necessary but instead of doubting us why dont you apply to the team and help us? We can use every single person

Virus paths will do nothing. A virus could just move, and then bam, the scanners useless. You need to scan the file, and see what it does. (i think)

Edit:
I found someone on Google

Internet searches and Wiki searches is also recommended.

About code you should start with FileStream class to read bytes from files.

Here is a very basic algorithm that searches for a virus signature in a file:

Code:

Function detect() As Boolean
    Dim file() As Byte = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} 'sample file
    Dim virus() As Byte = {4, 5, 6} 'sample signature

    For ix As Integer = 0 To file.Length - virus.Length
        If file(ix) = virus(0) Then 'found first byte in signature, check rest
            For vx As Integer = 1 To virus.Length - 1
                If file(ix + vx) <> virus(vx) Then
                    Exit For
                ElseIf vx = virus.Length - 1 Then
                    Return True 'virus found
                End If
            Next
        End If
    Next
    Return False 'virus not found
End Function

Yeah, we could have like an update around every month, using uhleh's vb updating program code

And I know a person who is good with VB, I will ask him about this when he gets on, and you should make a mpgh group for this, called the MPGH AV Team
with a usertag for each of the members have to put in their signatures

haha ya id have to ask dave tho, and iamazn its not scanning for active viruses its scanning for viruses in hiding

You could ask Oboma, or Arunforce, cause Dave only reads PM's from staff members

I think Arunforce would be nice enough to do it, just make sure it gets a user tile rank thing, with a usertitle of: MPGH Anti-Virus Team
and tell him it still has the same permissions as a normal member still

I saw Arunforce would be the best to ask

Well lets just wait and see if Oboma is nice to us

1 Question. How old are you guys?

I wannna help!

......................................

Its possible to make, but it'll be very hard to get a stable and good working scanner.
Also someone should be constantly updating a virus database, cause if you update it 'once in a month', its not worth downloading.
Since there are new threads every single day.
Anyway good luck.
