What language are antivirus programs programmed in

Hello Everyone

Is there a preferred language that antivirus programs are programmed in ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one language over another to write an antivirus program ? What are Norton/McAfee/Trend Micro written in ?

Thanks

It's hard to say not knowing (we're not on those teams). But most corporate software is written in C or C++ using some form of teamwork IDE.
