How to: Make 4 fake computer viruses!
Disclaimer: Everything here is for informational purposes only.
Why not have some fun and prank your friends? There are several kinds of fake virus messages you can make. I will discuss 4 of them:
1. Fake error message
This one is by far, the easiest one to make and all you have to do is to make a new text document with notepad, type msg * YOUR MESSAGE and save as anything.bat. As always, make sure that you select All files instead of Text Document.
2. Forced shutdown
This will display a custom error message and start a countdown which will shut down the computer.
Right-click your desktop and create a new shortcut.
Paste the following code into the Location box in the Create Shortcut menu:
shutdown -s -t 30 -c “Your message here“
Replace 30 with the length of the countdown you want (in seconds) and place your custom error message between the quotes. Click next and name the shortcut to something the victim would be likely to click on such as “Internet explorer” or “My Documents”, etc.
Next you’d want to change the icon. Right-click on the shortcut you made and click properties. Find the Change Icon button and click it. Choose a suitable icon for the name you chose earlier.
And that’s all! Now you just have to sneak the shortcut onto the victim’s desktop and run!
Note: to stop it, open Run from the start menu and type shutdown-a.
3. Endless Command prompt windows
This will open up a series of command prompt windows that will never end.
The basic idea is that there are two .bat files that open the other one when opened, so the other one opens the first one again and the windows just won’t stop coming.
How to do this:
1. Fire up notepad and type: start 2.bat
2. Save it as 1.bat (make sure you choose all files when saving it)
3. Make another new text document and type: start 1.bat
4. Save it as 2.bat into the same folder as the other one.
All you have to do to start it is to click on either of them.
The only way to stop it is to wait for the windows to become so numerous that they are a group on the taskbar. Then you can use Close group to get rid of the bastards.
4. Fake Command prompt viruses
These are also a good way to make the victim believe that a worm is gnawing at their hard drive and that they can’t do anything to stop it.
Open up notepad and type @echo off
- To make text appear, type it after an echo tag.
- To have the the commands wait for the user to press any key type pause
(Note: if you write pause >nul it won’t display Press Any key to continue…)
- To have a complete high-speed description of files in the drive of the .bat file, type dir /s
- You can also initiate any other command we covered earlier, such as shutdown, error message, etc.
And why no include all of these in one fake virus?
For example:
I can’t post the batch files here, as sharing .bat files over the internet is illegal.

I made the forced shut down mentioned above, worked great, untill when i tried to stop it… It didn’t. An error box just popped up sayin it couldn’t find that prompt thing!
How do i fix?
Using XP or Vista? Vista has another command for it.
@ Joshua
all you need to do to stop it is:
press start
hit run
type in : Shotdown -a
and there you have it
thanks

How do u use the 4th fake virus
Im running XP but the Forced shutdown did not work on my computer nor my friends computer.
Steve: do you see any error message at all?
Maybe it’s another Home Edition / Pro edition difference… I only have Professional so I can’t swear it works on Home.
I’ve tried it on several computers and they all worked. (And they all have Pro edition….
)
If you see some kind of error message or something, write the text and maybe I can help.
Actually no error message, A black box opens up for half a second and it ends. I also have professional.
Srange, because so far I haven’t had any similar complaints for that one. Normally the black box appears and is replaced by the error message in half a second. Are you sure you haven’t made a typing mistake anywhere?
if you are testing it then to close it go to start>run>shutdown-a
to steve:
or maybe u dint change the icon. make sure the steps are correct.>go right click at your desktop background
>go to “New” –>”shortcut”
>type “shutdown-s-t-c(not tht oyur coment MUST start with thething)
>Put wateva name u like. done. Change the icon if u want.
Happy shutdown-ing!
If you get the command prompt for half a second, try starting your computer in safe mode and trying again as the administrator. if that works, then after wards it should work on your normal settings.
fantastic tips! bookmarked! ^_^
hi
how to stop the fake virus or how to solve it..!
um well see i want to send my friend this shut down thing but it says shutdown.exe when I put it as an attachment and I dont want the guy to know. what should I do?
Eerik, I have Home edition, and the shutdown code worked on my computer.
(to make a real simple virus-notepad-shutdown-save-)(.bat)
THANK YOU MAN!!! Ive been trying to solve this problem for hours(my friend sent me this crap) its 1am and i tired TY SO MUCH!!!
I Have professional Xp.But it doesnt work.
@ N:
Could you specify what doesn’t work?
ok, i was making a fake Command prompt virus (#4)and i was wondering (this is vulgar) how do I make it repeat the last 10 lines?
another Question: How do Get it to respond to specific answers? Like, if they say N(O) it Acknoweledges that they said no and says (on the pause line)
“Press any key to close program”, and actually closes program? Or if they say Y(es), it continues with program
here is what i have:
@echo off
echo FUCK (Y / N)
pause >nul
echo ARE YOU SURE? (Y / N)
pause >nul
echo HOLD ON LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT…
pause
echo FUCK (Y / N)
pause >nul
echo OK….
pause < thisis where i want it to say “any key-endprgm”
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
echo FUCK
how do i get the
echo FUCK to repeat infinitely after they say yes the second time? (on the first time, it doesnt matter what they say the response is the same)
forgot to say Thank You for Other three “viruses” the only other one i knew before now was the shutdown error.
I have Yet ANOTHER question:
instead of Shutting Down, could i make it reboot?
what is the command line for this?
Again Thank You, sir, for these amazingly fun things…
@ anyone who cant seem to get the “run” commands:
BEFORE you decide to test the shutdown icon, make another one with the abort command “shutdown -a” (no quotes, also make sure you have shutdown(space)-a)
OPEN RUN THEN TYPE shutdown /a (that for vista) or shutdown -a
the 4th one worked fine . but the first one didnt work , can u be more specific ? maybe a screenshot. sorry im a newbie
where’s tthe method to do the same?
i know why the shutdown don’t work. i too had faced the same problem. after writing the -c, you must leave a space, type the quotes and then type your message and close quotes again. if you don’t leave a space after -c it won’t works! try it!
lets say i did the 1st one. does it start automatically, or manually?
if manually, can you set an alarm to open it(if the computer is on)automatically?
@ joe
To set it so that the “virus” opens automatically on startup, copy the .bat file, right-click on your start button, select “explore”, find the “startup” folder and paste your virus into it.
hey…i just dont understand the 4th trick…can someone show the example?
cant do it…ouch…
Well, this works for me. Esp. the one with the 1.bat thingy. It was awesome!!! But can I change the thing inside to command prompt???
oh yes, and after the shutdown thingy, when I restart my pc, I thought it shutsdown again. then how do I ever run the shutdown -a???
uuuuuuum…this sounds hard and time-consuming…i’ll surf the internet a little more…(p.s. beware! noobs like to make fake worms on google!)
This is a cool site. All the fake viruses worked on My computer
can I save these fake viruses to a flash drive then download them into another computer.
Hey can you tell me how to send the shutdown command to a friend as a prank without him knowing what I’m doing?
tnx wahahaha mwuah
1st virus did not work
1st virus did not work

when i try to do the fourth , it just flash command prompt and it doest open the doc! WHAT CAN I DO ??????????????????it worked with some other “code” i got off another site but it wont open mine!! whats rong??? PLEASE HELP ME
Cant u just end any one of them by just deleting the notepad document
Hi, on the very first one, can you make it where it doesnt say anything at the very top (the bar)
I like #2 and #3 but #1 and #4 i cant get to work.
everything works fine until i try to open the file, it opens for half a second then stops
you guys are all ammatures.
what this guy is he’s playing with dos commands that are compiled into a series of commands called a batch file. secretly hidden in the system32 folder is (.exe) files that are called shutdown.exe, echo.exe, etc. When you type in shutdown -s you are triggering shutdown.exe and using it’s shutdown parater. There are different parameters such as -s (shutdown), -a (abort) -r (reboot and others. In the windows library there is a class called msg, and as all strings are in programming usually there are quotes (”", or ” as subquotes.) Shutdown -c means no command, and shutdown -t means triggers off i think. So that’s why u can’t go shutdown -a cuz u told ur computer u didnt want to abort the shutdown. this only works on certain computers. each os (operating system) has different versions of DOS.
i tried the first and second virus but it just comes for about a second and goes
if i did the 2nd one, at school,would it shutdown ALL the computers on the network?
thx 4 the fake viruses btw
