I have no problem with that if it means that when I yell at them to STFU and go away at 5:30am, then they actually understand.

I think they've been trying to tell you something.
Or, at least, from their point of view, commenting upon how well trained you are.

Many of the programmers will have either one of the dreams i.e creating an antivirus or creating their own operating system. Well, I had the former dream that creating an anti-virus of my own. After many months of hard work, I finally made an antivirus which meets most of the standard requirements for an anti-virus., It is a portable solution and it has many features included along with it
see the screenshot here : [^]
Okay, I wanted an antivirus, I created one! and I would like to distribute it. But I dont know whether I am a man or a boy., I am just 18 and a half years old and do not have too much of money and time to promote and supporting so I decided to make this as an open-source one. Is there any way to get some kind of revenue from open-source products?
Can you give some suggestion on what to do after this stage? making it open source or doing anything....

At-least to me yes, I've seen many asking this questions in various forums including this.
P.S Once I am one among them!

Sir Nerd has two meanings which should I select??
a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious.
"I was a serious nerd until I discovered girls and cars"
synonyms: bore, dull person; More
informaldork, dweeb, geek;
informalanorak, spod;
informalPoindexter
"it needs care to wear a tie like this without looking like a nerd"
a single-minded expert in a particular technical field.
"a computer nerd"

Select which ever one suits you best.
(And if you really dream of OSs and anti virus, I seriously expect you fit any definition of nerd. )

How little you know.
I actually do dream of solutions to problems (in a product I am writing) but these are logic based dreams rather than product based.

To be honest, I think this is true. I tried both, with upperworst results.

Good luck with that!
Would I use it? No. Why not? You are a student, so the chances are that the antivirus was written to student standards, and tested to student standards as well. Those generally mean "none" and "very little" ... and that your exposure to virus signatures will likely be reduced, and slower than the "big boys"
who meet new viruses every day.
Antivirus is important - we all know that - and since some of the big players give the product away, like Microsoft Defender for example, getting a new free antivirus out there is not going to be easy.
Me? I pay for Kaspersky because I know it's tested, I know it's updated, I know it doesn't slug my system every afternoon like Defender did. Yours? I don't even know if it works, that it isn't ransomware in disguise, anything at all. I'll stick with Kaspersky, thanks.

Thank you sir! My product is not for sale, It is a freeware may be open-source I just asked any ideas and suggestions?.
It is not a feasible solution at-least for me to embed a ransomware successfully into an application with hundreds of servers working under a torrified network targeting the whole world and I am not interested to get that kind of moeny from making others suffer.
Sorry sir My English is bad, I dont know sir how you understood all I asked is if I make opensource is there any value in it. I cannot compel others to buy a product which is free.

If you think you need "hundreds of servers working under a torrified network" to produce ransomware, you are sadly wrong, and probably will get a big - and expensive - shock if you are not very, very careful.
Ransomware basically encrypts your PC and sends the decryption code to a web site. All it needs for that is for you to run an application on your computer.
Some ransomware doesn't even bother with the "encrypt", or "send to base" parts: as long as the user can't access the data and knows where to pay the money, the b*st*rds win: and the simplest way to do that is to just overwrite the HDD with random cr@p and tell the user it's encrypted. We had a guy caught that way a year or so ago - he paid, the code didn't work, the elephants wanted more money for "another code".
Criminals do not always tell you the truth...

I had a friend who got duped into a ransomware attack a few months back. I don't think it was terribly sophisticated either. They called him pretending to be Microsoft and convinced him to let them remote to his machine to "fix" something. Yeah... they fixed it by placing a nice little login into the system start-up and were requiring him to pay to get into it. Fortunately he called me and I was able to at least get the content off his hard drive and reload the O/S. As you stated, it doesn't take a lot to pull that kind of scheme off. Just one developer that knows a little bit about how the systems work.

I think OriginalGriff answered your question well and honestly, even though it was not the question you were asking. I think you will have a difficult time a) getting interest in development of this project, and b) getting people to actually use it - because of the issues that OriginalGriff raised.
I wish you well in your endeavour, but I think to be successful, it will take some luck and at least a decade of hard work and building a team of support.

Yes, I use it on Android.
But a free antivirus written by a student? :brrrr:
