(Not an actual virus)

IMPORTANT: If you directly download the zip file into a virtual machine and unzip it, Windows will prevent the .bat and .vbs scripts from running. Instead, downlaod the zip to your actual computer and copy it into the virtual machine for it to run properly.

This is a program that displays a series of message windows and crashes your computer when you restart it. Still, it's not recommended to run this on your computer unless you want you want to cause some trouble. If you did run it and want to stop it from causing trouble, see below.

Main.exe.bat: This batch file prompts the user to see if they really want to run the program. This file will execute the program code if the user agrees to run the program.

admin-requestor-template.bat: This file asks the user to give it admin access.

error.vbs: Displays a simple fake error message.

file-explorer.bat: This program freezes the computer.

invisible.vbs: This script makes any window started with it invisible.
