I haven't had a vrius since exactly 2004. That wasn't even a virus but some spyware thing that would cause constant popups. It also wasn't even on my PC but the working PC.

Viruses aren't a PC problem, they are an idiot user problem.


That you know of.


Trust me, if I had a virus I would have known about it.

I sincerely doubt that you reverse-engineer every process your computer is running. But if you do, I believe you. Heck, I admire you for your effort.


Process Explorer buddy, and considering I don't have more than 45 Processes running when I am doing really heavy work it is really no problem whatsoever and takes no more than 5 minutes to see what every process is. If you know how to work PCs you wouldn't have problems. You make it sound like it's rocket science, when it really really isn't. Just because you don't know anything, it doesn't mean that there isn't a quick and easy way.

How about a small test? I write a small executable which only prompts you with text "Hello!" and you tell me what that program actually does?

Don't run it however, heuristic detection won't catch on that.

Actually, why bother with that. Paste here some lines of code from your notepad.exe (windowssystem32 folder) and I believe you. I am willing to assume that you are a programming wiz and you see in "5 minutes" what the code actually does.

Even better, I've actually had to write a virus program for a class a few semesters back, if I find it I could just send it to you if you want. Obviously you shouldn't run it.

No, that is not better. Anyone can compile a program (or send a random executable) but I would like to see you reverse-engineer  a binary and analyze it in "5 minutes".
