How would you make 2 programs run at a time? Like an antivirus and the SHELL.

There are two I do running stuff at same time as shell
Basic: Simply run both antivirus and shell at same time using parallel API
Advanced: Use one of Top Level Coroutine Overwrites that people posted on forums and then run both shell and antivirus with parallel API.
In Basic case you just run shell and antivirus inside of parent shell.
In Advanced you basically run them on top level - without parent shell.

It may be worth first describing what it is you actually want to achieve here. What do you mean by "antivirus"? What sort of "viruses" are you expecting, and what do you intend to do to "protect" against them?

This code runs a shell:
This code runs an antivirus:
This code runs two code blocks "at the same time". If one finishes, then it stops the other as well.
shell.run("shell")
This code runs an antivirus:
shell.run("antivirus")
This code runs two code blocks "at the same time". If one finishes, then it stops the other as well.
parallel.waitForAny(function()
CODE BLOCK 1 HERE
end, function()
CODE BLOCK 2 HERE
end)

How would I even make an antivirus with a GUI and custom defenetions? I'd better study Shinji Malscan….

Here are the basic steps:How would I even make an antivirus with a GUI and custom defenetions? I'd better study Shinji Malscan….
- Find a virus that you want to defend against.
- Make a program to detect if the virus is on the computer.
- Make a program to undo the effects of the virus in some way (such as by deleting it).
