Could you build this?

Partial A basic file scanner that wraps ClamAV or YARA rules is vibe-codeable. Detection that is credible against real malware, though, requires curated threat intelligence and signature data, and the listing could also be a lure.

What it would actually take: The stack would be a desktop app that hashes files and runs ClamAV or YARA signatures, plus a threat-intel feed for updates. Effective detection needs a maintained malware corpus, heuristic and behavioral analysis, and secure update channels. The expertise required is malware analysis and security engineering.
