PureAV - Antivirus in PureBasic - finally here
Hi, i am proud to announce you PureAV, an open source antivirus scanner
built totally in PureBasic4. This is the first public release and i guess it has lots of bugs inside. I am willing to continue improving it, but this needs very much time and help from you. I hope you like it and will find it usefull. The sources are included (please read the license before using it).
Download PureAV -> PureAV_v1.2.7z
[Edit]
Forgot about it, here is a small decoy to test PureAV .
Not.A.Virus.PureAVTestFile -> Decoy.7z

First impressions - outstanding work. Well done. A good show piece for PB4 I reckon.
If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get all the virus hashes from? You didn't really download all those viruses did you?
Anyhow, I'll keep testing......
**EDIT - hey keep this up and I for one would be happy to donate for this. A simple, but effective antivirus solution! Ever tried updating Mcafee antivirus? Bloody activex controls screw my system up almost every time!

I may look like a mule, but I'm not a complete ass.
Thank you very much for the feedback and for the kind words. I am more than happy to build something that helps. I will do my best do make it work better than a commercial one. About the hashes... Yes, I am nuts... I downloaded all the collections I found... When I was entering the virii dir, my computer was freezing because they were too many .

For now, I don't have any updates. I need people to send me undetected threats so I can add them to the database. I need a place where we can work on this project. BTW, I am working now on a simple updating engine and I will repack PureAV as soon as it's ready. If you know such a place where we can work on open-projects made in PureBasic, please announce me.

Sorry GeoTrail, (slow typer )... Thanks.

You can check the first post, I just added a decoy to show you how it acts when it founds something. It displays a messagebox.
About the scanner, yes, for now it only deletes or ignores infections, but I'm not planning to add disinfection support because it would be a pain and it's not a job for a single man... About the bug, it happends here too, I'm investigating this and I'll post a bugfix tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks for the reports. BTW, I think PureAV scans the windows dir first because the 'scan memory' option is enabled and it scans the dlls loaded in memory and the processes. Just try to disablw that option and make a scan... It should work. (well, excepting that crash after scanning 10-20 files).
@flaith: It's on the list now, thx.
I will remake the package, because it's a little bit messy and post tomorrow a nice 'remake' with all the bugs fixed and compilable from sources.

Great, keep making it better than some comercial.
