OK, i am attempting to make a small personal anti-virus program, now, i can create the dummy files to replace them, but to scan and find the infected file i can only think of one way. The method i am using is to scan for CRC's on each file then compare it to a list, this method is sometimes slow and i was wondering if you could enlighten me as to how Spybot S&D detects.
The code i write is mainly in Visual Basic and C++, so if anyone else has some ideas please contact me on [email]
Thankyou,
Peter Smith
