Hi, my name is Terry Smith and I'm a developer and aspiring entrepreneur.

For a long time, the anti-virus community has been closed off, a walled garden of its own.  But as everything else in the world becomes social and sites like Wikipedia and many others facilitate and encourage user support, the movement has been overwhelming.  Entire profitable sites like Digg (and hopefully YouTube when it starts really making money) are powered by user generated content.

Why not harness that power into anti-virus and anti-spyware software?  Created a closed-source platform (for obvious security reason), but allow users to report spyware and viruses and, along with some creative logging and maybe some AI, the software would be way more capable of staying on top of things than any company can.

There would obviously need to be a lot of security measures in place, but if something gets reported enough times, clearly it’s something to look into.  This could even be two-tier with people who generate a lot of good results becoming moderators which could even be a paid position.  The software itself could be for a fee or more likely, have either an upgrade path with more features or a yearly subscription fee after x months or a year.

Social is everywhere now, why not harness tht power to do something really cool and useful outside of profiles and photo albums?
