  the code you found is in VB6. Nothing to do with VB.NET. Here is how to iterate throught the files contained in a folder in VB.NET:
  

  For Each fileName As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("c:\", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.exe")             Dim file As IO.FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(fileName)             Debug.WriteLine(file.CreationTime)             Debug.WriteLine(file.LastWriteTime)             Debug.WriteLine(file.Length)         Next

  you have to do some reading and check out some sample projects before starting building you application. Here is a great place to start:

  Among others you will find how to access a database.

  you are gonna have to search for information in the internet for these subjects. You can't that kind of help in the forums. Search for instance on subjects like 'reading registry visual basic .net', 'using file system', 'read data from database' etc. All these are big subjects in programming. They can not be discussed in a forum.

  That's no small request.  Some companies have spent years, trying to develop a good core to a file/virus search engines.
  
  Basically,
  1>Load Database
  2>Scan file, compare to database entries, mark file as bad if needed.
  3>scan next file.
  4>repeat
  5>go back and clean 'bad files'
  
  steps 2 and 3 are the real problem steps.  This would not be a very easy 'newb' project :)

  No this wont be a easy project... And im seeking a challenge.. :D Like challenges. I have nearly finished the design that I am very proud of, so now i am trying to get some code samples... Which is not easy... I found a code sample, that searches for a specific file in a specific drive\folder. That was the light in the tunnel... But the thing is, it is unstable in .net. But here, can someone look in the code and maybe help me to make it load from a database and search for the next file Or just search from the next file That would be great!
  Thx for the help so far mates!
