Application check for virus
-
Hello, We have an application. We want to check while starting that application in any system (customer place) whether any virus is there or not or the exe went out with or without virus. Can we do this in C++ in the application startup itself or can we use any third party software? Please suggest. Regards, Gopinath.

No, you can't. The reason being is executable viruses have a nasty habit of hiding themselves from attempts to find them. File system reads/writes get redirected to what looks like good data, so your attempts to find them will actually find nothing. It's far better to rely on actual anti-virus software, which protects the actual file system code from attempts to redirect/replace it. That's something your code cannot do when a user launches it.
