Hehe, I guess many of you encountered a shutdown virus, correct? But did anyone figure out how it works? Quite funny and easy. Also it is easy to get rid of the popup...manually. Very Happy

Believe it or not, I havn't got it. Nor do I really know what it is (A virus obviously), but I can guess it makes your system shutdown?? Laughing

This is an example version of it, I guarantee that it will not make any permanent version on the system, once you start it, it will count down for 24 hours, and turn off the PC, the only way to shut down you comp is to reser it. You have enough time to play around. If you wish you can download it.

NOTICE: this is NOT a virus, just a one line code for examination purposes

Call me stupid but why would anyone in their right mind want to download and test a Virus? Sad

do virus writers even test their own viruses on their own computers?

This is not a virus. This is a part of windows*, I wrote a command in a bat file, and compiled it into executable. Nothing else. This is like inoculation. (vaccene) what ever it is called.

* Program used to remotely shut down computers in the network, after they finish the process. So the process lasts one hour, you put that the compyuter shuts down in 2 hours, and go somewhere. And the computer shuts down on autopilot Very Happy

"Definition of Inoculation, Inoculation was a method of minimising the harm done by infection with smallpox. It was the predecessor ... "

this is like that, it will NOT harm anyone, the only thing it will do is turn on a popup that says "You have 24 hours before your computer comes to a halt, use them wisel. Smile

" and after it counts down thos 24 hours it will shut down the comp. In any oyher case (if you shut down the comp yourself, or pull the plug like Angolano Smile

) it will terminate the popup, and unless YOU start the exe again youself it will NEVER bother you again. Honestly.

Actually he was doing a FAA test for joining a VA. Shocked

There were sum questions even I didn't know the answers. So I sen't him that, to see how will it affect the test results. It is a fact that clearing head before a test helps the total outcome. The only problem was that he got 5% less than required to join. Sad

Hmmm, I don't know why he flunked, I got a 87% Very Happy
