    I have seen on getafreelancer,there are people(individuals) wanting coders to make them antivirus software so they can sell it. My question is,how do coders make all the virus definitions? And how would the buyer get new virus definitions when new viruses come out?

    Good question,

    Ive noticed that nobody has answered either. I think its because the viruses and definitions for them are made by the person who is making the anti-virus software. How else would they know? And how else would they stay in business?

    Try not running any anti-virus software and see if you even get a virus.
