I would not think java would be any good for an antivirus. It doesn't have an OS specific features that would be useful.

Re: Creating an Antivirus in Java.
Hello Ajeeth, even 6 years later Norm's comments are still very valid. Java would be a wholly inappropriate choice of tool to build an antivirus application.

For real-time protection, the application would have to run at the OS core, hooking into the file system. On a Windows platform, I don't see how this could be accomplished. On *nix system, this also seems problematic.
Re: Creating an Antivirus in Java.
Yeah, Java is not the tool you're looking for.
Re: Creating an Antivirus in Java.
I don't think that sort of control is possible with Java, primarily because it uses a VM and is shielded from the OS. Or rather the OS is shielded from the Java VM. This is by design.
Edited to add for clarity: I am assuming that you want to write the entire solution in Java, and not mix languages.

Hai Easy Jet, Java is not the right tool you are searching for! Analyze thoroughly and decide. Interested in learning Programming languages?

Re: Creating an Antivirus in Java.
So the SE on Java runs on a not specific operating system. What about the JVM? The anti-virus program is run then on Windows and not on JVM. Ok. I understand. It is ok now, I see it clearly.
