How did you define what is harmful?

Norton is also good for bogging down a pc and being quite annoying.


And I think he's saying that whatever Norton finds his program removes. I'm assuming he's using that free Norton scan tool which doesn't update virus definitions and has to be downloaded continuously to ensure you have the most up to date definitions. Of course if he's using the full Norton AV then his program his pointless because Norton should remove any infections it finds.

Well you gotta start with a system with triggers, if the code does that then do that under those condtitions...
Example code : Computer_destroy..
You simply gotta program it finding anything similar too Computer_destroy, wich is done with another command.. so you simply program the languages into a "console"..

Never heard of programming a language into a quoted console before, and anti-virus-software is just one of the things that never struck me as being simple..

Yep, sounds like pure bullshit to me. A good AV requires definitions that have to be constantly updated and looks at what a program is actually doing not just trying to look for keywords in code to determine that it should be deleted. This can easily create false positives that can cause your computer to crash because it removes something you need. Also, most viruses on a computer are compiled therefore the "console" you create will not be able to look at the code to determine if it's malicious or not. I suggest you leave AV to the people who know what they're doing. And BTW, Liidian, didn't you say in a previous thread that you didn't know any programming language but that with your logic you could read them? And don't try to say that you wrote and AV batch script either.

how would one go about building one (since were on the topic)
