Urgent Help!!!!!!

No, it doesn't have to be converted into binary format. It's already in binary format.

You read the bytes of the file and compare them against known virus patterns. Although the algorithm for that is probably much more complicated than the mechanics of reading a file, so you might be in over your head.

public class BinFormat

{

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

{

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("vcll.exe");

//FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("out.bin");

int c;

while ((c = in.read()) != -1)

System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(c));

//out.write(c);

}

}

Thankyou.... but the while loop runs indefenitely.... the time it takes to complete the process is so large and the size of the output binary file is huge even if the input file is jus 100KB size.... This is the way that all virus scanners function? or am I making a notable mistake...
