Hello guys, due to high incidents of malwares spreading through removable drives using the autorun.inf, I am proposing some kind of a virus catcher and reporter with this kind of algorithm:
- Check all drives for presence of autorun.inf
- If found, check the executable/script file supposed to run
- If the file is less than 1MB, send it to avast! server
- also send the autorun.inf to avast!
With this routine, suspected “autorun” like viruses will be automatically uploaded to avast! servers (or mailed to virus@avast.com)…
I know Visual basic and PHP but too bad I don’t know C or C++ which I think is much faster…although Visual basic can do it as well…
TO AVAST COMPANY: Sir is it legal if I create an automated virus catcher that will upload suspected viruses to virus@avast.com?
