@echo off
msg * Warning your computer has detected a virus.
msg * To remove the virus click OK or close this box
msg * Your Hard drives are now being formatted
msg * Please wait ...........
msg * APRIL FOOLS
3.Save the file as April-fools.BAT
4.Right click on the file and press hidden
5.Go to folder options and click show hidden files
6.Cut the file and place it in the victims Start up folder in the start menu
7.Go back to folder options and click do not show hidden files.
Now what each of the lines you typed in done:
@echo off << this runs the commands in the background so the victim will not see any codes
msg * <<this commands the computer to show a message
msg * hahahah <<this is what the message will display
The results
when the victim starts up there computer the first message will appear, when they click OK the next one will appear and make the victim think there hard drive is being formatted until they get the last message saying APRIL FOOLS.
