I really don't feel like doing all the research on the many 1000000s of spyware out there so I need something that has the info for me so I don't have to make my own definitions.

The definitions are part of the program, unless you have a really weird program. Look on the site of the developer, you can probably download updated definitions there. RE: Spyware Definitions by pollolibredegrasa on 11-25-2005 at 10:20 PM
I think he meant he is writing his own... RE: Spyware Definitions by Menthix on 11-25-2005 at 10:31 PM What good is writing your own antispyware program if you use definitions from another program? The definitions are the real important part, everything else is just eye candy. Oh well, programming fun i guess . RE: Spyware Definitions by DJeX on 11-25-2005 at 10:53 PM

I'm only one person and if I had to go through all the spyware there is I would never finish my program, and my life would suck. Theres got to be a company that has them for download.

quote:Microsoft AntiSpyware? No, they just bought a company that makes antisyware software. But it comes with their own definitions. Anyway, look around at sites like download.com, find a nice list of antispyware programs. Look on their sites and see if you can download the definitions. Your next problem is probably figuring out how the definitions should be used, i don't think there is any company out there that will tell their users how to use their definitions in your own software unless you make a partnership with them and pay loads of money.

Have a read of Spybots news articles. Then you'll see stealing definitions isn't a good thing. RE: Spyware Definitions by Menthix on 11-26-2005 at 02:45 PM I agree with linx, that would indeed be very interesting and useful. Go for it ! |
