Issue #14: Integrate Real-World Malware Signatures from Free Sources
Priority: Critical
Estimated Time: 4 days
Detailed Description:
Replace the current test/randomly generated signature database with real-world malware signatures from established, free, and reliable sources. This will transform MalwareMinimizer from a proof-of-concept to a tool with actual utility for virus detection on real machines.
Problem Statement:
Currently, our signature database (signatures.json) contains only:
- The EICAR test file signature
- Randomly generated fake signatures
While this works for testing functionality, it provides no real-world protection. Users need actual malware signatures to make the tool useful for minimizing viruses on their systems.
