Specs: Windows XP, 1GHz/256mb
Why this code is not working.. ?

for /F %%f in ('dir 'D:\Program Files\b.exe' /s /b') do echo D:\ disk virus scan results: >> virscan.log
for /F %%f in ('dir 'D:\Program Files\b.exe' /s /b') do echo Threat type: SUSPICIOUS >> virscan.log
for /F %%f in ('dir 'D:\Program Files\b.exe' /s /b') do echo Status: QUARANTINED >> virscan.log
for /F %%f in ('dir 'D:\Program Files\b.exe' /s /b') do msg * SUSPICIOUS FILE FOUND!
for /F %%f in ('dir 'D:\Program Files\b.exe' /s /b') do msg * SUSPICIOUS FILE quarantined!
for /F %%f in ('dir 'D:\Program Files\b.exe' /b') do move /Y %%f C:\quarantine

it says system can't find file specified etc.

Exchange the single quotes(') around the the file names(d:\program files\....) with double quotes(").

Just what I was going to suggest. You cant mix single quotes in the same line. It just get everything confused as to where one ends and the other starts.

PathName/FileName with embedded blanks must be embraced by double quotes (") NOT single quotes ('), i.e.

"D:\Program Files\b.exe"

and so on... you have to embrace internal variables too that may be assigned those nasty values as move /Y "%%f".

GENETIC, you are trying too hard for your knowledge of batch scripting.

Yeah, anybody who can't get basic commends has about *NO* chance of "programming anti-virus"[sic].

I'd rather start on a program that simulates a human opponent in a game of chess ... but, go ahead. Let us know when you have finished !

Ok. I want to write msg command that shows sentence with symbol "!"
I wrote in batch file: msg * Setup successful!
but when message box pops-up it shows Setup successful ( without symbol "!" )
Where is mistake?

the "enabledelayed" kills the !. You have to temporarily disable it prior to the message:
setlocal disabledelayedexpansion
echo test!
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo test!

i don't think you lose any var. values by disabling.

Consider using "enabledelayedexpansion" only during the FOR /F loop(s).

Ok. I'm finished it, but it's in beta version for now. Just for test. If you want, you can download it from: http://www.mediafire.com/?ywitmcmjfxt

Please not tell me, that it's crap. I already know this.
