There not viruses there malware...

[Gebriel]

How can i tell the diffrence between a malware and a virus?

[Ändrew]

Most good viruses are well hidden with in other programs but what your trying to get rid of is malware. And how do I know because iv got some of those before and now there gone .

The first step to a anti-ANYTHING is a database. And a mechinism of scanning files.

Can access be a good database
i am developing in vb.net

[Gebriel]

what kind of database, i mean in the database what is included.
example, please

[MrWobbles]

The database would have to include a list of all the known malware/viruses, or whatever you want to remove. And would have to be updated all the time...

You might be able to find something like that

Please anyone help me!!

Sorry internet was down I accidently unplugged it from the telephone line and didnt realise all day ;( .

But you should start with the database. I think the .mdb file is a database file? And if you can harness this and with some kind of version checker for e.g: where you compare 1 .txt text with one downloaded from a server. And if its the same do nothing if its not then it will download both files and overwrite the older ones.

Iv never done searching in VB.net I have no idea why I havent. But That infomation that I gave you above shall help you.
