whoa dude, we came from the same country...

it depend on the HLL itself... according to my understanding from reading here and there,
some of them using their own emulated "layer"... not communicating directly with the OS...
as for the "AV" software you mention, I prefer not to use it... just imagine the "AV" thing need to
intercept everything, then checking their database(how big is it?) for recognizing the signature, and what if they also have their own (emulated) layer...? imagine what happen with the speed...?
In my personal opinion If need to choose HLL to write program with, then I'll choose C/C++, especially I came from assembly which is almost share the same concept, the API will remain as the API but the register(s) will be replaced by "my own" variable(s).. also the best part is:
I can mix it with assembly...
while I was about to post my post, Vortex have been posted.. +1 to him...
