virus scan code for VB

New D.I.C Head Joined: 22 Nov, 2007 Posts: 1 Thanked: 1 times My Contributions	well, i have a project which is to make a backup system and a virus scan programme using VB studio, I've created a back up system using some codes but I doubt I can make a virus scan code since it would require the programme to firstly check which virus's are what and who knows what else :X so im wondering is it still possible to create a virus scan programme using VB? note that this doesnt have to be very good, a simple scan about afew virus's should be enough, and is there any codes for it o.o thank you

What many programs do is pass the actual scanning off to another program.
