ASM

I developed an interest about anti-virus software as i'm ending my faculty studies; But i bumped into Assembly, with witch i had very little to do until now; HELP ME /prog/ !!!
Is there another way to follow my dream in studying viruses and earning a living from it? i'm totally unused to this low level ASM :((

I already know C, Lisp and Python, but it's uncool to know how to drive and not know how to ride a bicycle. It's like when someone asks you: "yeah, you know how to drive a car, but what about bikes?". So I would answer: "my other car is a bike!"
