Are you serious?

No offense, but why don't you start out with something more adequate for
your skill. And I'm curious who assigns a task like this to somebody who
has no clue about programming or software development in general.

On top of that, this newsgroups is dedicated to the C++ programming
language. It's not its purpose to discuss how virus scanner work.

A nice understatement :-)
I am very new to car mechanics and engine management in general. I have
been asked to work for Ferrari to tune the engine to make sure
Michael Schumacher can win the next Formula One championship also.
My advice: Buy such a virus scanner. It will cost much less and work much
better then everything you can comeup with in the next 2 years.
