TinyAntivirus (TinyAv) is an open source antivirus engine designed for detecting polymorphic virus and disinfecting it. Now, TinyAv can detect and disinfect Sality polymorphic virus. In the future, I will deveplop some modules for removing other polymorphic viruses, such as Virut or Polip.
This project is released under the GPL license.
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
- zlib 1.2.8 or newer
- unicorn-engine 0.9
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/develbranch/TinyAntivirus.git. - Build: Core engine, Console and scan module.
- You can see
ReleaseDirectory. Change theReleasedirectory and runTinyAvConsole.exe.
TinyAvConsole.exe [options]
| Option | Meaning | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| -e | plug-in directory | current directory |
| -A | Archive scan depth | -1 : any depth |
| -D | scan depth | -1 : any depth |
| -d | path to scan | |
| -p | file pattern | *.* |
| -s | max file size in bytes | 10 * 1024 * 1024 (10 MB) |
| -m | Scan mode: Kill-virus (k) or Scan-only(s) | Kill-virus (k) |
| -h | Show usage |
You may scan all directories and files by using default values.
Example: Scan for all files (include ZIP files) to detect and disinfect virus. ZIP files which contain virus will be deleted.

##Contribute
If you want to contribute, please pick up something from our Github issues.
I also maintain a list of more problems in a TODO list.
I have only one Sality sample to develop Sality killer module. I think there are many variant types of this file infector. Please send me samples which TinyAv can not detect or other kinds of polymorphic viruses. Thank you.
