How to create fake shutdown viruses

I'm going to show you how to create fake viruses! Just for fun!

 

1 Introduction
Want to prank your friends and shutdown their computer? Look here to see how. NOTE:it just shuts down it doesn't kill memory, programs, ETC.
Any tips for me? please post a message. thanks!

2 Start
Ok if you want to be as diabolical and evil as me, here is what you do. First, right click on your desktop and click new shortcut

3 Type location of the program
Ok, now you must type the location of the program. there should be a blank new icon and another window shall open. in the text box within the window type...

shutdown (space) -s (space) -t (space) (seconds you want to give the person before their computer starts to shutdown) (space) -c (space) (start quotation mark) (message you want to give them when the countdown sequence is running) (end quotation marks)

after that press the next button.

Eg:  shutdown -s -t 5 -c "Hey Buddy its Cool"

4 Name the program
Now it should ask you to name the icon. the name will show up to whoever you send it to and it will also be seen on your desktop. if this is for a prank that you will send to someone else then i suggest you name it like a game or a real program.

NOTE: you will need to be able to find the picture of the game/program you say later.

5 Change the shortcut icon
Now, you must change the icon of the shortcut. right click on the icon and select properties.
Now click change properties. it is on the lower half of the screen.
then another window will open . click browse and look in your CD drive. there should be your game/program icon. click it and press ok. after you click ok it will return back to the last window. click ok on that one as well.

6 Finished!!!
Now your "Fake Virus" is done. all you have to do it send it to people through an instant messaging service, e-mail, ETC, and laugh hysterically. if you send it through an instant messaging service always watch them log off a few seconds later. its always hysterical.

TIPS:
*make the game/program sound convincing to the victim
*don't send it to people that would sue you
*send it to a friend or at least someone you know (much easier)

Have fun! And laugh! Drop you comments below.
