As far as I'm aware, there has been no change to make systems "secure". Unless something has been changed with disk drives there is no way to secure a system.
Correction, not 1.76 but 1.77 and over has anti disk startup https://dl.dropboxus...ans%20titre.png

I would instead suggest running the program in a sandboxed environment to see what it does, and if it appears to be malicious, (re)move it.

Anti-viruses are also a lot less useful since 1.76 simply because you can protect yourself against them now if you have a secure system.

He is likely referencing the ability to disable /startup. However, this isn't "secure" especially when you consider the many other kinds of viruses, also trojan horses...

Please note that this will also remove custom startup files.

You can use MD5 hashes to check if the startup is infected.

Do not use md5s to detect viruses. Use signatures from within the files themselves.

The way I did this was to store signatures as hexadecimal representations of snippets of code of known viruses. I have a library of approximately 100.

You can store byte code, since it removes comments and similar. The best way to go is still with environments.

I think it was a good idea for you to make this program. It's explicitly good-willed (being an antivirus program intended to help people) and has potential to become something nice if you choose to keep working on it. If not, then you've probably gotten better at CC by making what you did so far anyways.

I'd suggest searching all files on the computer for certain strings that are known to be in malware. Like a chunk of Lua code. That way you can try to eliminate specific disruptive programs. :)
Yup, hes right!

That IS how real Anti-Virus programs work! :) Scanning for suspicious code!
