You could take a loot at ClamWin, its a open source antivirus written in C ( i think? used it a long time ago )

Most anti virus are made with c++. I believe malwarebytes is made in VB though.

At their core, anti-virus software is really just a massive database of source code for known malware.
They scan files on the computer (especially those in memory) for probable matches on some subset of some known source code.
