I don't think it's easy to make an anti-virus in java.
Because anti-virus need touch the core of system.
How could the java make it?

 

No, it has no sense to write antivirus in Java. This question was discussed on different forums.

i dont htink its impossible but kindda hard
you can apply the signature method easily i think
but aplying the behaviour based system is much harder

 

its easy to implement sinature based method
but wont give u much protection
it can only scan the system and compare every file for previously detected viruses(u need md5 signature database of these)
