# Windows AntiVirus

## Project Overview

This is an **improved version** of my previous antivirus applications:  

- [First AntiVirus Project](https://github.com/HUGOW04/TuAntivirus)  

- [Second AntiVirus Project](https://github.com/HUGOW04/AntiVirus)  

This project is a **Windows-based malware scanner** developed in **C++ with OpenGL**, using **SHA-256 hashing** for secure file comparison. It provides a modern interface, improved performance, and stronger detection capabilities compared to previous versions.

---

## Implemented Features

- **Full Scan** – Thoroughly scans the entire system for known malware and threats.  

- **Fast Scan** – Quickly scans critical system areas for efficient detection.  

- **Memory Scan** – Analyzes running processes and memory for hidden threats.  

- **File Scan & Drag-and-Drop** – Scan individual files or drag them into the app for instant analysis.  

- **Signature scanning** using **SHA-256 hashes** for files.  

- **Optimized hash lookup** with `std::unordered_set` → **O(1)** average lookup time.  

- **Real-time autorun checks** to monitor startup programs.  

- **Heuristic detection** to identify suspicious behaviors and unknown malware.  

- **False positive reduction** via whitelisting, file type verification, and signature checks.  

- **User-friendly reporting & logging** of all scans and detections.  

- **System tray integration** with CPU and memory statistics.  

- **Modern graphical interface** fully implemented in OpenGL.  

- **Desktop notifications** for scan results.  

---

## Future Improvements

Planned enhancements:  

- Network scanning using **WinAPI hooks**.  

- Real-time detection of **newly added files** before execution.  

- Phishing email protection with **Have I Been Pwned** integration.  

- Sandbox execution for suspicious programs.  

- AI/ML-based detection of unknown threats.  

- Quarantine system to isolate/remove malware.  

- Kernel-level antivirus integration for deeper protection.  

- Automatic virus definition updates.

This version builds on my earlier antivirus projects and evolves them into a **more complete, security-suite-like application** with scanning, performance monitoring, and an OpenGL-powered UI.
