Now we add 4 Labels having Font Color Red.

1) For the first Label we set the font size as 24 and type in the text as "FATAL SYSTEM ERROR" (all in capitals) and place it just below the image we put in the last step.

2) Similarly for the second label we set the font size as 14 and we type in the text as "SYSTEM ERROR CODE 225:0XE1"(this too in capitals.) (Note that this is simply not an error code which i made up but is the actual system error code for detection of virus).We place it below the first label.

3) Now for the third label with the same font size as above we type in the text as "All System Data has been wiped out..................." (this in non-capitals). We place this below the second label.

4) Now for the last label we set the font size as 11 and type in the text as "Please press enter to power off the system" and place it at the bottom.

Step 6: Coding

Now we go to the coding part. now we type in the following code:-

Public Class Form1
Private sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.Keypress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
