I was sorting through a load of floppy disks today, and found one marked Virus.Bat
It is a little dos prog I wrote many years ago. My brother in law had just purchased his first computer.
He asked me If I had any programs he could use/load.
I quickly knocked up a little batch file and embedded it in a shareware game
Two hours after I dropped the disks off to him, I got a phone call.
BIL - I've got a virus on my computer off those disks you lent me!!!
Me - How do you know you have a virus?
BIL - Coz the screen went black and big writing has come up, telling me so!!!
Me - What does it say?
BIL - VIRUS WARNING! VIRUS WARNING! do not switch off your computer, do not operate/use your mouse or keyboard.
Me - Press Esc
BIL - No!! it says not to touch the keyboard.
Me - just press Esc and tell me what is says.
Bil - okay-it shows a big smiley face and says Sucker! I had you
Me - Hysterical laughter
Bil- !!!!. #*###*...**#*# When I get my #>*~!*# hands on you, you!..............................etc
