Many of the programmers will have either one of the dreams i.e creating an antivirus or creating their own operating system. Well, I had the former dream that creating an anti-virus of my own. After many months of hard work, I finally made an antivirus which meets most of the standard requirements for an anti-virus., It is a portable solution and it has many features included along with it see the screenshot here : [^] Okay, I wanted an antivirus, I created one! and I would like to distribute it. But I dont know whether I am a man or a boy., I am just 18 and a half years old and do not have too much of money and time to promote and supporting so I decided to make this as an open-source one. Is there any way to get some kind of revenue from open-source products? Can you give some suggestion on what to do after this stage? making it open source or doing anything.... :^) :^) :confused::confused:
Good luck with that! Would I use it? No. Why not? You are a student, so the chances are that the antivirus was written to student standards, and tested to student standards as well. Those generally mean "none" and "very little" ... and that your exposure to virus signatures will likely be reduced, and slower than the "big boys" who meet new viruses every day. Antivirus is important - we all know that - and since some of the big players give the product away, like Microsoft Defender for example, getting a new free antivirus out there is not going to be easy. Me? I pay for Kaspersky because I know it's tested, I know it's updated, I know it doesn't slug my system every afternoon like Defender did. Yours? I don't even know if it works, that it isn't ransomware in disguise, anything at all. I'll stick with Kaspersky, thanks.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

At-least to me yes, I've seen many asking this questions in various forums including this. P.S Once I am one among them! :-D

Thank you sir! My product is not for sale, It is a freeware may be open-source I just asked any ideas and suggestions?. It is not a feasible solution at-least for me to embed a ransomware successfully into an application with hundreds of servers working under a torrified network targeting the whole world and I am not interested to get that kind of moeny from making others suffer. Sorry sir My English is bad, I dont know sir how you understood all I asked is if I make opensource is there any value in it. I cannot compel others to buy a product which is free. :cool:

Sir Nerd has two meanings which should I select??
a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious. "I was a serious nerd until I discovered girls and cars" synonyms: bore, dull person; More informaldork, dweeb, geek; informalanorak, spod; informalPoindexter "it needs care to wear a tie like this without looking like a nerd" a single-minded expert in a particular technical field. "a computer nerd" -

If you think you need "hundreds of servers working under a torrified network" to produce ransomware, you are sadly wrong, and probably will get a big - and expensive - shock if you are not very, very careful. Ransomware basically encrypts your PC and sends the decryption code to a web site. All it needs for that is for you to run an application on your computer. Some ransomware doesn't even bother with the "encrypt", or "send to base" parts: as long as the user can't access the data and knows where to pay the money, the b*st*rds win: and the simplest way to do that is to just overwrite the HDD with random cr@p and tell the user it's encrypted. We had a guy caught that way a year or so ago - he paid, the code didn't work, the elephants wanted more money for "another code". Criminals do not always tell you the truth...

If you have developed an anti-virus system that (a) identifies all known viruses, (b) does not flag good programs as viruses, and (c) does not require updating signatures, then the commercial anti-virus companies would like to talk to you. Otherwise, you need an organization that updates the anti-virus signatures on a regular basis. As an 18-year-old, I doubt that you have the resources to set up such an organization. As others have pointed out, getting anyone to actually use your anti-virus software is difficult. Even assuming that you have the best intentions in the world, no one is likely to trust their data to an untried anti-virus, even if it is free. There are already plenty of free anti-virus solutions out there, which also have a reasonable track record. I suggest that you chalk this up to experience, and look for something else to work on.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

I'm going to admit that I have in fact dreamed about creating my own operating system. I think back in the day (the 1980's, yay! :laugh:) when we had 8-bit/16-bit machines and < 1MB RAM it would have been possible, but these days the hardware is a lot more complex and the job's so much bigger that it needs a decent sized team to get it done.

Unfortunately in most cases these days, it takes money to make money. We missed the boat which was really around the late-90's/early-00's. From my side, I suffered too much from that all-too-British condition of "bah humbug, nobody's going to want that" only to watch as our (mostly) American cousins launched the very same things (Facebook, Twitter, eBay, PayPal, Google, CodeProject :((, etc..). I'd say that these days, open source is (most of the time) the way to go. At least you get the credit for the work you've done, even if it doesn't take off (e.g. something to show at an interview).

Not really, because anyone can grab your code at any time. Some companies do it by offering paid enterprise-level support (RedHat, Ubuntu) but they're not in the league of companies like Microsoft or Apple and will probably never get there because paying them is optional (and most users choose not to). My advice is to keep up coming up with ideas, you'll hit on something great at some point. You don't have to worry about coming up with something new either, just do it better than anything else out there on the market.
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Avast free AV for me, works well, catches stuff.
Yes, I use it on Android. But a free antivirus written by a student? :brrrr:

How little you know. I actually do dream of solutions to problems (in a product I am writing) but these are logic based dreams rather than product based. :)

If anti-virus is such a bug with you, after you've completed your open-source version, why not contact a reputable AV company (or many) and see if it impresses them enough to get you a job out of it? Join the big boys! Best wishes!
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old. While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Well done! I'd echo Brent and David's advice - you won't make any money directly out of it because there's so much AV out there already but it's a great thing to be able to show those AV firms (and others) and hopefully it will impress someone enough to get you a good job. Good luck.

Sir, It will work fine along with your primary antivirus and will not slow down your system. Kindly have a look at it GitHub - VISWESWARAN1998/CyberGod-KSGMPRH: An open-source antivirus for windows[^] I am quiet sure there is no open-source ransomware or any-other threats. :cool: It has various other bunch of tools too...
