This works fine in Windows 8/8.1 as well, but looks much scarier in Windows 98/XP/Vista/7, with a countdown-timer to accompany it.This is not a virus, this is just a tool to scare your loved ones. The computer will shut-down after one double-clicks on the icon, and can be started normally once again.

2. The following prompt will pop up (on windows 8.1, but similar on all other versions of Window:
Now type in the following code in "Type the location of the item":
shutdown -s -t 20 -c "Write anything here"
The 20 is the time period in seconds. The computer will shut down after that time. It can be changed to any time period that the creator of the virus wants.

:lol
echo virus downloaded
goto lol
Here is the code broken down:
@echo off = this must be at the beginning of every command.
:lol = this is just a name for a command. It can be changed: for example, :virus. But the : must always be at the beginning.
echo = This is what you want your command to say. For example, "echo HOW ARE YOU TODAY". For this to work, you need to put echo in front of the sentence, otherwise it will come up as a system error.
goto lol = To know that we are going back to :lol (or :virus). This will basically repeat every command after :lol (or :virus).
3. You need to save the file as a .bat file
4. And done. You can again change the icon as you want.
If you wish to waste someone's time, can also edit the command as follows:
@echo off
:lol
echo Please wait a moment. Don't close this prompt. A virus is being removed...
goto lol

Now double click the OEMBackground value and set its value to 1.
Have the required image file ready now. The file MUST be less than 256 KB in size, and make sure it has the correct resolution so it doesn't look distorted.
Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer -
C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info
This should have a folder named Backgrounds. If it doesn't, create one.
