Curious...

As i was going through the internet i rembered an old idea of mine. I wanted to build an AV program. So i was wondering how would you go about making something like that? What languages, what would you even need for that?

As far as i know, to build an AV program you only need EXPERT in one programming language that you like. Then, you must need signature to detect virus or you use heuristic, use CRC32. Also, create feature to quarantine virus.

Oh, i am not expert in AV, maybe anyone can add or complete my explanation... .

C or C++ is the most common language for Anti-Virus.
