How would one go about protecting the source of his exe, like how would i encrypt an executable and/or a string in c++.

You ever think of making an encryption / decryption engine
Encrypt a exe and make a new one with decryption etc etc.. allocate some memory store the program in memory make the program decrypt the functions it uses then clear memory rinse and repeat..
or just download an app that does it..
Its just like making a polymorphic virus but without a virus...
but then u have to code in asm.. will as far as i know it

You can use a program like Morphine (not Morpheus, people!) to somewhat encrypt an exe. I've heard the absolute best way to do it, however, is to use Armadillo. Apparently even those in the AV business claim that they just can't keep up with the changes that are made to the executable with this application.

There's a free trial on it too, which makes it nice. My guess is that it only works for so long, however.

Thank you i'll look into both of those solutions =)

I already read a text about take your virus (work better if it was code in somethign else that c/c++/c\) and to amek a c code taht will execute the virus (include the virus on it) so the real virus code was not scan but the C one was scan but not detec

theyres nothing you can really do to encrypt an exe, you can always disasemble it, and see what was there.

You can try to encrypt it, but it's just a matter of time before the AV get passed it. No matter how strong our how good you encrypt your virus, it will always get broken by them. It just slows them down. So it would be great in an MassMailer worm or in a 0 day worm
