ListView Help?

[MXTECH]

Hey i'm making a program that i need a listview with 4 collums "Virus name, Virus signature, virus dir, virus risk", i need my program to understand what what each line is and look for the virus in the line that has the virus name and then look at the virus dir and look for it there, i tried to get this working but its a pain in the butt for a beginer like me. so basicly what i'm asking is:
1.How do you add items to a listview?
2.How do you get my app to read the listview table and read it line by line?

Here is the interface i made, this is version 3 Prerelease though,

Here is how Personal Scanning happens, they choose the DIR to scan aka for network drives or addition usb's

Now here is where they choose a drive if the user is not that smart,

Here is the listview i was talking about, i want the app to read the object and know what DIR to look for




and yes i'm making a light wieght virus remover so far when the user issues a scan it run's this code:

  If txt_path.TextLength <= 0 Then
            MsgBox("Please Select a Drive to Scan!", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
        Else
            On Error Resume Next
            'Deff database
            Dim autoprotect As Boolean
            Dim winsurf78 As Boolean
            Dim Genautorun As Boolean
            Dim Genautorun2 As Boolean
            Dim sscvihost2 As Boolean
            Dim blastclnnn As Boolean
            winsurf78 = My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(txt_path.Text & "Autorun")
            autoprotect = My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(txt_path.Text & "Autoprotect")
            Genautorun = My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(txt_path.Text & "Autorun.inf")
            Genautorun2 = My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(txt_path.Text & "Autorun.ini")
            sscvihost2 = My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(txt_path.Text & "SSCVIHOST.exe")
            blastclnnn = My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(txt_path.Text & "blastclnnn.exe")

            Virus1 = Process.GetProcessesByName("DrvMonitor")

                Virus.threat_table.Items.Add("VIRUS FOUND!, Virus: " & proc.ProcessName)
                proc.Kill()

            Dim Virus2() As Process
            Virus2 = Process.GetProcessesByName("sscvihost")

            'end events
            If winsurf78 = False And autoprotect = False And Genautorun = False And sscvihost2 = False And blastclnnn = False Then
                MsgBox("Scan Finished, No USB Viral Threats were Located. Loading Scan Results..", MsgBoxStyle.Information)

                Virus.threat_table.Items.Add("Scan Run at: " & DateAndTime.Now)
                Virus.virus_dir.Items.Add("No USB Viruses Were Located On: " & txt_path.Text)
                Virus.Label1.Text = "No USB Viruses Found."
                Virus.Text = "No USB Viruses Found."
                Virus.ShowDialog()
            Else
                MsgBox("Scan Finished, One or More USB Viral Threats were Located. The Log File Will Be Displayed now.", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
                Virus.Label1.Text = "One or More USB Viruses Found."
                Virus.Text = "One or More USB Viruses Found."
                Virus.ShowDialog()
            End If

        End If

so as you can see i have to enter items for it to kill on a time by time basis and include it in the base code unless i get some listview grid table up so i can just add it like that then send out the program again, Ego easer for me and my employer.

cheers in advance

The ListView has its items in an object collection - Items(). Therefore, you can use a loop to get each row one by one.

[MXTECH]

Could you write an example?

[Xav]

ForEach (item As ListViewItem) In Virus.threat_table.Items
...
Loop

Something like that?
