In this tutorial I will show you how to make a  Facebook virus using simple commands on notepad. .This will make the victim think they have got a virus when they click on an icon such as Internet Explorer .

1) Open notepad

2) Type this in :

@echo off
msg * WARNING VIRUS DETECTED!!!!! AFTER 5 MINUTES YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED !!!!TO REMOVE THE  VIRUS CLICK OK OR CLOSE THIS BOX!

PAUSE
shutdown -r -t 300 -c " SORRY!!! YOUR  FACEBOOK  ACCOUNT  ARE NOW BEING DELETED !!! PLEASE WAIT ..........."

3)Save as Internet Explorer .bat

4)Right click on Internet Explorer .bat and click Create Shortcut

5)Right click on shorcut and click Properties.

6)Click Change Icon

7) Choose Internet Explorer icon or similar , click OK , then click Apply

8)Delete real shortcut and replace it with fake . When victim click on it , he will get warning messages that looks like this:

After five minutes windows will restart , that is all. This is totally harmless and will give you a laugh. Enjoy !

    classic! but the message itself isn’t believeable. try having it be *WARNING! Virus detected from: facebook.com threat level: severe proceeding with data dump. All downloads, text, account data, and networking ties with: facebook.com are now being erased*

    This is a good prank. But is it possible to change the first message at the System Shutdown box? In addition to this, can I shorten 5 minutes (because I find it quite time consuming)? Thanks for posting this!

    @TriZxx
    To change time modify -t 300 to -t {time in seconds } , in this example it is 300 seconds = 5 minutes

    What if i don’t want any pop-up-box on my screen to appear?

    Is this possible?
