    Where can I download computer viruses from?

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to write a simple antivirus program as a project for one of my CS classes... but I dont know where i can get some sample computer viruses from? I want to open them up using a java or c++ or C# editor... and study the coding to know how to combat them. Obviously macafee wont give me their source code to look at.. so i got to come up with my own ideas. Can anyone tell me a good place to download some boot viruses and others from? thank you!

    Im not sure if you can just open up a exe and look at its source, unless VC++ lets you do that. If it doesnt you will need to find a cracking program to get at the source. Email me for more info...

    do a search on google for virii downloads or something like that. But try to stay away from warez pages as they will drown you in popups and probalby give you a virus...

    gimme some updates on how the program is doin too.

    You cant just look at the code of something that has already been compiled...


    You would have to disassemble the .exe to look at its code in ASM.
