About The Project

Simple Antivirus (SAV) is a lightweight and effective antivirus solution designed to protect Windows computers from potentially malicious activities, files, and processes. This project aims to deliver a simple yet powerful tool that runs quietly in the background, safeguarding your device through various detection methods including signature-based detection, heuristics, and behavior analysis.

Key Features:

Installation Script: Easily set up SAV on your Windows machine with a straightforward installation script.
File and Disk Scanning: Quickly scan your files and disks to identify potentially harmful code, with options to quarantine or delete detected threats.
Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously monitor suspicious CMD and PowerShell commands, alerting users to any unusual activity.
Quarantine Management: Users can manage quarantined files, with options to unquarantine or permanently erase them.
File Hash Checking: Verify the integrity of files with hash checking, with an option for users to add custom file hashes for personalized protection.
Integrity Checking: Ensure the security of sensitive files through advanced integrity checks, protecting against tampering.
Tamper Prevention: Robust techniques are in place to prevent tampering with the antivirus, including secure configuration, input validation, memory protection, and more.

SAV is designed to be a user-friendly yet powerful antivirus solution, providing essential protection without overwhelming users with unnecessary features or complexity. Whether you're a casual user or a more advanced one, SAV offers reliable security that integrates seamlessly into your daily workflow.

The Simple Antivirus (SAV) project was initiated on the 27th of Febuary, with the goal of developing a robust yet simple antivirus solution for Windows users. The project was conceptualized, planned, and executed by a dedicated team of developers, including Tim, Zach, Pawan, Chris, Joel, and Johann. Each team member contributed their expertise to various aspects of the project, from coding the core functionalities to planning and implementing the detection mechanisms. This teams collaborative efforts have resulted in a reliable and user-friendly antivirus solution that meets the needs of a wide range of users.

Repository Structure

The repository is organized into two main folders: AntiVirus and ProofConcepts. Each folder serves a distinct purpose in the development and organization of the Simple Antivirus (SAV) project.

AntiVirus: This folder contains the core of the project, where the final, integrated version of the Simple Antivirus resides. All team members contribute their completed functionalities here, ensuring that the antivirus is cohesive and fully functional. The AntiVirus folder is the central hub where all features, from real-time monitoring to file scanning, come together to form the finished product.
ProofConcepts: The ProofConcepts folder is a dedicated space for experimentation and development of individual functionalities. Here, team members create drafts, prototypes, and test versions of the components before they are finalized. This allows for iterative development and testing of new ideas without affecting the stability of the main project. Once a feature is polished and fully developed, it is then integrated into the main AntiVirus folder.

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
