Darn , memories are coming back to me , had to share this one ... I must admit in my younger days i had the same mentality. When i was first asked to switch my studies to part time and join an obscure Anti-virus company in Malaysia, i was skeptical. I was even more skeptical when i found out the whole AV was written by this guy a short guy with a "hard to talk to interface" but a master in C/C++. This guy coded the first antivirus cleaner when he was 15 in pure assembly. Cough!...there are other things he wrote which is best not written here. As he showed me each of the technique Nortxx AV used in the disassembled code, its was an eye opener to me, that one of the most popular AV product in the world in the western world has codes and mistakes that are common to a programmer. For some reason other programmers just didn't last or understand the "steely" discipline he enforced, at the end its just him and me working and coding the product for years. I wrote MacroPro, the world first real time macro antivirus protection, 6 months later "Tre.." came out with something similar and patented theirs. The product rose to fame later when DH2 broke out, thats because dh2 was both polymorphic, stealth and an aggressive exe infector. It took Norxxx 1 month to get the solution out while ours took 3 days. Part of the tech was later licensed by US DOD for more than 1 mil license. I doubt many can remember the name, its Armour Anti-Virus. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Join Open Source Developers Club Malaysia http://www.osdc.my/ Facebook Fan page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=98685301577 http://www.facebook.com/OSDC.my You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OSDC.my Mailing List" group.
