If anyone is interested, they can call me on the phone and I can tell them how 
to build a program that will automate a malware protection program on Windows. 
This may be possible on Mac and/or GNU/Linux but I don't know how.

The reason I just do not blast out some pseudo code is that my hands are 
hurting badly today so I avoid typing which is hard with speech recognition 
software.
