Creating a Fake and Harmless Computer "Virus"
Note: This is really just a shutdown code. It in no way has any potential to steal information or content from any PC. It's an easy trick.
1. Create a new shortcut.
..a: In the target box you can input any command you want the computer to run. Like a shutdown.
2. To create a shutdown command, type "shutdown t s #Time".
....Ex: "shutdown t s 30" (this is set to shut down after 30 seconds).
3. After this, you may wish to add a little message in addition to your "virus" that tricks your friends. After you type the time for the shutdown, add "-c "TEXT"". Always type your message with quotation marks, or this will not work.
4. You probably want to give your little trick a specific name, something that'll seem innocent. Like "Internet Explorer." Just rename it.
5. Now you're going to need to change the icon, so it looks presentable. Right click > Properties > Change Icon > (Choose one to match your name) and click "Ok" or "Apply", whichever shows up.
After you are finished, it should look a little something like this:
Name: Internet Explorer
Icon: (Internet Explorer)
Directory (or path target): shutdown s t 30 -c "Thought this was the internet, didn't you?"
There you go. It's an easy trick, I think most people already know this. Again, this is completely harmless, but only slightly if you set it to run at start up.
Just go to your "Run" tool, and type in "shutdown -a." This will abort the shutdown.
