NOTE: BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING, I IN NO TERMS, WILL BREAK THE RULES OF THE FORUM.(Or the law for that matter as i have been told.)

I recently learned how to make a virus. Im not saying that im going to user it, destribute it, or do any malicious things with it. Im just curious on one thing. It is created in notepad as a .bat file. My question is that,(yes its a virus which doesn't make a difference as to what type of file it is) why .bat files are illegall to distribute over the interent? I read any type of .bat file is illegal to post over the internet wether it was a virus or not.

.bat files don't have anything to do with programming in my opinion.

Some kid told me how to make a virus from school, i tried, never used, released, destributed, gave, or anything. Im just curious, (because i read on the net) that .bat files are illegal to distribute, and why they are.

.bat 2 .exe
This way it is hidden

.bat isn't illegal to distribute

its just a set of instructions to the cmd prompt

and a good "virus" wont be made in a .bat, as you can change the file with 2 clicks.

Viruses infect and destroy files, .bat files cannot do anything nearly as malicious as that. All you have made is noobware.

Well, what a SMART person would be is

rename it to something like "Internet Explorer", change the icon to the ie icon, and hope like crazy that the computer hides known file types. =/

whats worse than crashing a comp?

deleting the partition

create a virus that can inject its memory into other processes inturn, ruining all of your computer programs and then spreading itself through msn/aim via keylogging

Hmmm, I would like to know how to do this. But I doubt that there are that many tutorials on how to do this, and multiple hours of searching would only accomplish some ok tutorials on some of this stuff. Although I'm sure that there are tutorials from which you will be able to implement this, although where I don't know. Search for it, and if you find some add me, I would greatly like to know how to do this. Wink

I'd choose to erase the file alloc tables and "make all the files and folders look gone" and cause panic for at least a while
