Sounds goos but do you know how many viruses are out there? There are millions and loads more new ones been made each day. You can never keep this up to date like other virus scanners.

Another thing is that viruses change there names. So if your searching for them via name it wont work 100% all of the time. Real virus scanner find them by definitions or bad bits of code which could ve potentialy harmful.

Hope this helps but your heading down the wrong line here. You will be busy for a very very long time! 

I know that! That's why it focuses more on the RECYCLER virus, which takes it claim on USB's and Discs.

I'm just saying that its a lot of work.

Yep. The only way to be safe and detect harmfull viruses is to read the code. Just searching for the file name has about a 1 in 1000000 chance of saving somebodys computer from a virus.

lol our 500GB external hard drive has the RECYCLER virus... we formatted it many times but it just suddenly came back again!

WATCH OUT. The recycler virus eventually disconnects you from the internet, and you're isolated. Eventually? Viruses everywhere. Get AVG, I can give you a code that my friend gave me, he won 10 of them at his school (we dont go to the same) and he gave me 2. I'll give u the other if you want. Just join the hamachi network...

Remember guys, don't rely on things like this, use proper antivirus software.

@WindowsExplorer | This is mainly for the recycler virus. its not good at hiding itself, but it's deadly.

lol we already have virus protection on our Windows PC and having another antivirus would cause problems... avg can remove the virus without formatting right? because i scanned my usb flash drive with avg and it said it removed it but it was still there... i had to format it

edit: i'm not getting hamachi for my laptop because i can't be bothered to use the command line (linux version)
