First learn to be a very GOOD C/C++/Assembly programmer instead of a poor one (which you yourself admit to being).
That should take about 10 years, during which time you might be able to learn a lot of the skills needed to create something that detects malicious code.
Antivirus firms should be able to provide you with the rest when you get a job there.
