PureAV - Antivirus in PB

Inf0Byt3 · Post by **Inf0Byt3** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 12:29 pm

Hi! I have allmost finished PureAV, a lightweight antivirus coded only in PureBasic 4.
The only problem are virus definitions... I have a pack of ~15000 viruses wich will be used in the databases, but I need more

. So if any of you finds any malware/spyware/security threat in your computers, please PM me and I'll instruct you on how to send me the threats.
Help me help you

Sounds cool! remember to support the eicar test av!
However i doubt i have any malware in my computer, but if you would support things like spyware and other things like that it would be cool. When do you expect a first public release?

Well, it's not much

. The engine is quite simple (in fact, very simple) but I'm willing to add some cool features in the next versions. I estimate a release today or maximum tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback

.
P.S. I 'll maybe OpenSource it, but for now it's too simple...

A release today or tomorrow sounds very nice!

When does it scan the files..?
And does it have a memory scanner for already running processes? That would be cool

For now, it's just a little on-demand scanner. However, I've got some old code here waiting to be converted to 4.0 for a small on-acess scanner that could be easily attached. The processes are scanned as well, including all their loaded modules

. I hope I'll have it finished today, but I am very tired. I got asleep at school

Hehe i sleep always! Even now...
However it would be cool with a small on-access scanner! But first get the current on-demand scanner done (sounds cool with the process scanner

be sure to run that before the rest of the scan!)

you can use clamav antivirus database (GPL)

>you can use clamav antivirus database (GPL)

Well, I think I'll use it. It's very well made and big... But I can use it only If I release PureAV's source, right?
In the future, if anyone wants to join this project and help me with the exe decompression routines, I'd be very happy

>(sounds cool with the process scanner Smile be sure to run that before the rest of the scan!)

Thanks for the tip

(Inf0Byt3 opens PB4.0....)

that's right. You can also look at clamwin, the port for windows, of clamav.

It's good but lack totally of "On Access Scanner".

i hope very good news!

I'd love to see this developed further - I hate the fact that most anti-virus are so bloated I'm tempted to switch off.

I do all my best to make it be an antivirus, not just some bitmaps and a logo, just as others... Open Source should make it even better. I hope I will finish it soon, but it's a pretty big task.

Great!!!

I hope yours are better than NAV and all other ones that don't really do nothing

Any plans to BETA testing?

That will be great for learning!!

Well, not for now, I need some libs for 4.0 that exist only for 3.94 and I am writing them myself. I think it will take at least 1 month until the first beta.

What should I do? I need some input from you guys... I don't know what to do... Shall I continue with the development of PureAV? I think this is not an easy task and I would need some help with it. Would anybody use it

? I'm afraid it will be just another junky product nodbody would like. I've got some ideas but...
