Antivirus in Adobe Air

It’s just a proof of concept but it’s an antivirus done entirely in Adobe Air. Check out the screencast of it working.

Years ago when central was still alive i thought about the idea of creating an antivirus in it. I did lots of research through out the years. I met some antivirus engineers (there are 2 antivirus companies in this country), read complete open source antivirus sources, etc.

So, when i tried Adobe Air the first time i thought about doing the same apps i did in central and i remembered my dream.

BTW, i did this in air because of the FileStream class. You could have it in flex or flash but you will need to work with other scripting languages.

I may say again that this is just a proof of concept and it’s not a complete antivirus software. I have no idea if implementing an entire antivirus is possible.

Here is the screencast

No, i won’t release any source code. Sorry!
