Over the weekend, I've been sending my friends some .exe files as pranks that shut down your computer. It displays "Brian Virus Activated", spits out a bunch of random numbers, and then forces a computer shut down.
How does it work? The .exe is really a .bat file in disguise. A .bat file is known as a batch file, which is like writing a really simple program in command prompt. If you've ever coded before, batch files are extremely easy to make. All they do is run the commands top to bottom. The .bat file is then converted to an .exe, which I'll talk about later. It is completely harmless, but you can make it really powerful and do things like format the drive. I won't teach you that, because that's just cruel.

BE CAREFUL
