Step 1Download This File

Download This File
You Probably should download the main file to some folder that wont be too easy to find (I will refer to this folder as the "hidden folder") and make a shortcut of the main file on the desktop then hide the main file (go to properties and click on the "hidden" box)in the hidden folder and also,hide all firefox/Internet explorer shortcuts from desktop or you can just move it to the hidden folder

(i modified this script with AutoHotkey and copied some parts from http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic27784.html&highlight=prank
then i compiled the file so u don't have to do nothing with it)

Is this VBScript or BATCH filing? Or is it still AHK?

It's good but you can CTRL+ALT+DEL your way out and the "s" only works if you cancel the background first. Also it would be good next time to see your own script aswell as the compiles version

Finally, something that looks the part... I don't know about anyone else, but I'd go ARG! if that appeared on my screen when I tried to open a browser... of course, I open Firefox using a shortcut pinned to my Start menu, so I'm safe.

Well, that is what happens when you open an executable file in Notepad...

What do we open this file with?

Forgive me for being cautious and cynical, but before I download this I would prefer to know exactly what it does.

Hey guys! i got my cousin with that and it was hella funny! haha...
here's what i did:
i created a vbs script with a lot of "Virus and critical error messages", then i got your code modified..
I first showed the msgbox, then blocked the input! haha.. then i created a bat file which opens the two files i had.. so i put it in a hidden folder and the shortcut in the start up folder!!
he was screaming and jumping around hahahaha i couldn't hold the laughters LOL

thanks for your code man! :)

When i downloaded it, it was a .tmp. You have to rename it to whatever.exe.
Sep 18, 2009. 1:12 PMmath783 says:

LOL
funny script xD

i got a laugh out of reading it.,
Jul 13, 2009. 10:20 AMidigicon98 says:
The end of the script for the fake virus says s::ExitApp. Could I replace the s with CTRL+SHIFT+ESC so to exit the EXE you press those keys instead of s?

how did you make the loadinging bar and is it batch?

Vista sucks... No offence. But seriously, it has lots of bugs, and its slow. It might look good, but it sacrifices performance for good looks.
May 13, 2009. 4:34 PMwanttolearnstuff says:
lol. I agree vista has bugs... but if you exceed the requirements... like having 3 - 4 GB of RAM... 3 - 4 GHz... it will work fine.

I don't really understand why it matters... obviously people will have different likes... I'm sure you probably like coke over pepsi or pepsi over coke... or mcdonalds over burger king or the other way around... but does that make it suck? I mean unless you are running some other operating system... Vista is still made by microsoft... Mr. XP
Apr 24, 2009. 9:59 PMcodebuster says:
Sweet this is nice. Totally not a virus ,can't wait to freak out my friends. Thanks man
Apr 5, 2009. 4:17 AMaburt11 says:
