Assistance-Searching file directories

[MM45MM]

Any one have any sample code or recommendations on how to code a "detector" in c++ to look at files generated from a sample program. The idea is to understand what our antivirus programs do today? Thanks for any assistance.

I found this link looking through the forum.

this lists says it will list all the directories. It gave me a bunch of dll cannot find or open PDB file. Is this something I someone could help me tweak to say list all directories/subdirectories. Run the generator given that would create additional files within directories and then I could compare them to locate which files have been added from the generator? Thanks to anyone that can assist.
