I would like to have a software program developed that would have the same feature set as Spy Sweeper(_[login to view URL]) - it should also have an comparable existing software database of spyware applications.
From a program side, it needs the following features:
1. detect all the types that Spy Sweeper does, with the ability to quarantine or delete.
2. Include the Active Shields-like functionality
3. Include option to add proactively block spyware like Spyware Blaster ([_[login to view URL]][1]) does (pretty basic)
4. It should be able to perform memory, file, and registry scans
5. It should have startup management, similar to Startup Cop.
6. It should make backups of ANY changes, and the should be able to be completely undone.
7. All functions should be accessible via commandline, so the program can be run in a non-GUI (automated) fashion.
Things it does NOT need (that Spy Sweeper does).
1. It does not need a custom GUI - it should use standard Windows controls and have a simple interface.
2. It does not need any sort of activation or registration (ie; copy protection)
3. It does not need any auto-update functionality.
The database file needs to also be supplied in XML format, as well as whatever format the program uses. The program must also be written in pure C/C++ (heavy preference towards C, but C++ is fine), but it MUST NOT use MFC, ATL, etc.
