Viruses Signatures for Cleaner/Scanner?

[Snooke3]

Hello everyone.

I will create a malware/viruses cleaner/scanner software, but I need the viruses signatures to detect if the file have some virus or not.

Someone knows where I can get a recent Viruses Signatures?

 

Thanks a lot.

Your best bet will probably be ClamAV. It's an open source anti-virus engine developed by Cisco Talos.

Signature databases are usually trade secrets, so you will have a very hard time finding for example the one ESET maintains.

 

You can find the daily CVD file (ClamAV Virus Database) here: Download link

It's not a text file though, and I am not sure how to extract just the signatures from that.
