    antivirus system

    I need to write antivirus system (with using of heuristic analysis)for. It will be used in a particular field (can not talk about it yet).
    The main part is simple: antivirus provides access to virtual files for running application (maybe virus), which works with these files as if they are real. After this antivirus notify what running application attempted to do. I have SDK for emulation of a file system and registry. But antivirus may be more effective and flexible if there are additional tools for recognition of viruses. Who have an idea?

    OldStory:
    You'll need to provide at least the platform you're developing in as they all have different requirements.

    Also to note, that these types of programs already exist (some even as freeware)for many platforms and often have copyright and patent protection, for example Patent number: 7188369 which describes something similar to your question and others and they often have huge development teams.

      I've heard of something like that. As I understand, you can use the Virus Protection Tools. Is a series of various programs and utilities that help protect against the virus.
      It would be interesting to know (as said zmbd) about "the platform you're developing in"

        Also, for emulation of a registry I use boxedapp sdk
        The question is actual

            Hi! OldStory!
            Virus Removal Tools - look at them. May be Autorun Eater or something like that will help you.

              It is probably not a good idea to try and implement an antivirus program by yourself.

              I would look into using a known, trusted antivirus application to run in order to check the data in question.

                I need an antivirus with special abilities. This antivirus will work in a specific environment.

                  As I understand, it is now fashionable to write your anti-virus software, players, debuggers and other software... There are many similar projects on oDesk, for example

                    I believe some virus software companies have more commercial licenses that allow to use their core software via an API to integrate into your own service. That is probably what you'd want. As many have suggested, it's not necessarily the best idea to try to create your own anti-virus solution.

                      I know that writing your antivirus is not the best idea. I need an antivirus with some functions. These functions do not have those antivirus that I know.

                        JulsSmile, this is not a fashion! This is necessary in some situations!
