Writing Joke Virus Application

[Windows7ge]

I decided to write a small program based off of the "Albanian Virus" joke that can be found with a quick Google image search.

This is what I've come up with so far:

The top window alternates between two timers. The first timer prints the actions starting with: Formatting hard drive

Then upon print the first timer is stopped and it starts the second timer which prints: . . . ERROR!!!

The timer will print each period in 1000ms intervals before printing the word ERROR!!!

Upon completion timer two disables itself and restarts timer one. This process repeats with each new action until the list of actions are completed.

Once every action has been used the message box below displays itself with its message.

After this all controls are disabled and an exit button appears on the main form to quit the application.

 

To note. Both the X and the Cancel button run a line of code which freezes the application for ~5000ms. This gives the illusion that the program is in the process of exiting or canceling.

After the ~5000ms the program will display a window saying that an unexpected error has occurred and that it cannot stop or cancel, then the application resumes.

 

I just thought this was a funny little application to write but if I can help it I'd like to make it better and funnier. Unfortunately I've run out of ideas.

Can anybody offer ideas as to what I could add to the list of actions to be performed or extra features I could include to make the program bigger?

no no you use 

 

fsutil file createnew <filename> <length>

this only generates so called sparse file - you get a record in a folder with a file size but not actual data thus making it look like the drive is filled up without causes any writes to the drive.

"No no you use" ?

Why not use it to do good and give infected computers a 5+MB hosts file?

I'm not sure what you mean by 5MB+ hosts file.

I like that idea. Tell the user they got trolled.

Unfortunately I don't know how to launch the default browser, input a URL, and hit enter from the code.

I never understood github. I can see it's a large range of files but with no descriptions telling me what they are I have no idea how to use them.

It's a nice idea but I don't think it suits the application.

If you read the source code you could sleep well knowing the program didn't actually do anything.

Something like where it launches an infinite loop of CMD prompts? I could but that would just be unpleasant. The program is more angled to make someone laugh. A batch bomb would just piss someone off.

no no was to the batch bomb, it's too in your face, a slow eating of all the space on your drive is a far better joke. Much more believable too.

make a payload opening multiple sites with gay porn videos at their peak intense pleasures and overiding the user volume to 100%

If I wanted to get back at someone this would be a nice passive aggressive way of doing it but with the intention of harmless fun I wouldn't want to create an array of empty files on their computer.

Oh, lol. Programming is not my field of expertise so I didn't know what I was looking at. From time to time I just play with writing small applications.

If I did that though I'd have to know how to reverse it.

I liked deXxterlab97's idea of when the application ends open rick rolled on youtube. I'd have to research how to launch the default browser though and run the URL.

rick rolling is old

make a payload 100x of these and overload the user volume to 100%

I remember hearing about the Windows vulnerabilities the NSA didn't report then making tools to exploit them. So this was one of them.
