How to Create a Fake and Harmless Virus?

if you're a prankster and would like to pull a trick on your computer-literate friends, then you can create a fake and harmless virus and email it to them. The easiest harmless viruses you can make are the ones that shut down a computer or monitor after a specified amount of time, open and close a CD drive or log the user out of Windows XP.

Instructions:

1. Right click your mouse on your desktop. Select "new" from the drop-down menu and then click on "shortcut."
2. Type the command you'd like the computer to perform in the shortcut wizard box. For example, if you want the computer to shut down, you'd type "shutdown." Type it all in lower case letters as one word.
3. Add the amount of time you want the command to be performed after the shortcut has been clicked. This will typically be in seconds. After the word "shutdown," add a space, the letter "s" for seconds, another space, then the letter "t" for time. Add another space and then type in the amount of seconds you'd like.
4. Create a place for a comment to show up when the fake virus is activated. After you've typed in the amount of seconds, press the space bar, a hyphen and then a lowercase "c." Type your message in quotation marks.
5. Hit the "Next" button at the bottom of the shortcut wizard box. The next window that pops up in the wizard will be one to name the shortcut. Give your fake computer virus a realistic name. Click on the "Finish" button and your fake virus will appear on your desktop.

Preparing the Virus

1. Read and understand the warnings!
2. Open Notepad in Windows. You can do this by navigating to Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad, or simply by entering "Notepad" under Start > Run.
3. Copy and Paste the Code of the "virus" into Notepad.
4. Click File > Save as.
5. Decide for a location to save the virus. You should chose a location where the user won't find the file, so saving it on the desktop would be a bad idea!
6. Change ".txt" to "All files" in the file type drop-down menu.
7. Chose a harmless filename. Replace the ".txt" at the end with ".bat"
8. Click on save and close Notepad.

Making a fake Icon

Now that we have the virus saved, we should prepare a decoy:

1. Right click on the desktop and go over to "new" then click "short cut".
2. For the location of the short cut chose our Virus.
3. Click next.
4. Give the shortcut a name that your victim will click on. ("Music for free", "My Documents", "Critical Windows-Update" "Get Free Cinema-Tickets" or "Internet Explorer").
5. Click on "Finish".
6. Right click on the shortcut you have just made and chose "properties". Now click on the "chose icon" button and scroll through the list of icons.
7. Decide for one of the icons that fits well to the name, chose it by clicking on it and hit OK twice.

Abort Shutdown-Countdown

Sometimes it might be necessary to stop the countdown before the computer shuts down. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the start menu.
2. Click Run
3. Type "shutdown.exe -a" and press enter/return.
4. Or go to Run
5. Type CMD
6. And then type "shutdown -a"

Warnings

• Only do this to someone who can handle such a prank!
• Do not execute such viruses on computers that must be available 24 hours a day. (Like the ones in hospitals).
• Remember that if you use a shutdown-countdown you should have enough time to abort the countdown! How to do this is mentioned above. That means don't enter "2" and expect yourself to have 2 minutes to disable it!

Tips

• Alternatively, set your 'virus' to execute every time a user logs in by navigating to Start > All Programs > Startup (Right-click) > Open and copy the shortcut into the folder that opens. Be careful with the shutdown timer's value, too short an interval will make it difficult for even an experienced administrator to deactivate the virus. (At Least 30 Seconds are Necessary!)

• Running batch files like these in full screen can make them even scarier and more convincing. Right click on the icon and chose properties -> options -> full screen. Do not shutdown computer to early or it may not scare the victim or it wont look like a virus.
• You can download a small, free utility from Frameworkx.com that will easily let you remove the shortcut arrows without having to do any registry patches.
• It's even better if you name it Internet Explorer and change the icon to match save it to your desktop and delete the old internet shortcut so if they click to go on the internet it shuts down on them. It will be quite fun and hopefully both of you will get a good laugh out of it!    http://bress.in/?p=378
