How dangerous could a batch file be?

 Hi users, today we could just you give the codes to paste in
notepad and ask you to save files with extension .bat and   your deadly batch viruses would be ready.
But instead of that, we have focused on making the basics of batch files clear
and developing the approach to code your own viruses.

What are Batch Files?

 Lets begin with a simple example , Open your command prompt
and change your current directory to ‘desktop’ by typing ‘cd desktop’ without
quotes.
Now type these commands one by one
1. md x  //makes directory ‘x’ on desktop
2. cd x  // changes current directory to ‘x’
3. md y // makes a directory ‘y’ in directory ‘x’

Lets do the same thing in an other way. Copy
these three commands in notepad and save file as anything.bat

Now just double click on this batch file and the same work
would be done , You will get a folder ‘x’ on your desktop and folder ‘y’ in it.
This means the three commands executed line by line when we ran the batch
file
So a batch file is simply a text containing series of
commands which are executed automatically line by line when the batch file is
run.

What can batch viruses do ?

They can be used to delete the windows files, format data,
steal information, irritate victim, consume CPU resources to affect performance,
disable firewalls, open ports, modify or destroy registry and for many more
purposes.
Now lets start with simple codes, Just copy the code to
notepad and save it as anything.bat (I am anything you wish but extension must
be bat and save it as ‘all files’ instead of text files).

Note: Type ‘help’ in command prompt to know about some
basic commands and to know about using a particular command , type
‘command_name /?’ without quotes.

By default autorun is enabled on windows xp, this puts your pc into potential malaware risk or even virus infection. Mostly, viruses and worms are spread using the windows autorun feature. We should disable autorun on your computers to prevent it from being infected with any virus, malaware or worms. Here are several ways to disable the autorun function:

Disable Autorun with TweakUI.
The most convenient way is to install TweakUI a PowerToy from Microsoft we can download for free . Download TwealUI and install it. This PowerToy gives you access to system settings that are not exposed in the Windows XP default user interface, including mouse settings, Explorer settings, taskbar settings, and more.

1. Run TweakUI
2. Navigate to My Computer -> AutoPlay -> Drives
3. Uncheck the drive you wish to disable the AutoPlay function.
4. Navigate to My Computer -> AutoPlay -> Types
5. Uncheck Enable Autoplay for CD and DVD drives
6. Uncheck Enable Autoplay for removable drives
7. Click Apply button
8. Click OK button

Disable Autorun with Group Policy Editor
If you are a geek type and want to do it the hard way we could use the GPEDIT.MSC tool to disable Autorun. GPEDIT.MSC does not work on Windows Home Edition, only on Windows XP.
1. Navigate to Start -> Run
2. type GPEDIT.MSC
3. Click OK
4. Navigate to Local Computer

 

Finally, Microsoft releases a successor worthy of Windows XP

For the Windows faithful, it’s been a tough eight years. With the launch of Windows XP in 2001, we thought we were poised on a brink of a new world of NT-based goodness—but two years and uncountable exploits later, the future of Windows was grim. Facing a never-ending torrent of new ‘sploits, worms, and trojans, Microsoft fired back with the single greatest operating system update of all time—Service Pack 2. In the single fell swoop of SP2, Windows XP went from Swiss cheese to secure, and once again we were poised to enter the promised land with… (wait for it)… Vista.

Of course, we all know how Vista turned out. Haunted by poor performance in everything from games to disk access to networking, Vista is widely considered to be Microsoft’s biggest failure. Nonetheless, Vista laid the groundwork for a host of new technologies, all absolutely vital to pushing Windows into the 21st century. Vista’s new, modern driver architecture was designed to move core functionality from the kernel (where any instability can bring down the whole system) to user space—an absolutely necessary development. Likewise, Vista’s proper enforcement of permissions for both users and applications enhanced security, even though UAC remains very annoying. And once vendors fixed their driver flaws and Microsoft squashed some underlying bugs, Vista morphed into an entirely workable operating system, even if we still wouldn’t describe it as “good.”

So, as 2009 draws to a close, we find ourselves testing another new Microsoft OS: Windows 7. Building on the now-mature technologies introduced with Vista, but with a renewed focus on performance and ease-of-use, Windows 7 seems poised to succeed where Vista couldn’t. We’ve finally received a final build of Win7, and have run it through the wringer in both the Lab and in the real-world. Here’s what we found.

New Features

While support for new hardware

In our latest head to head, Windows 7 faces its immediate predecessor, Windows Vista. Will Vista be able to mount any kind of challenge?

It’s time again for another of our head to head face offs.

We recently pitched Windows 7 against Mac OS X and an almighty battle it was, but this time we’re lining up Windows 7 against its much lambasted predecessor Windows Vista.

OK, we admit it. Vista originally received quite glowing reviews and with the benefit of hindsight that was, perhaps, something of a mistake.

But is Vista really as bad as all that? Now it has been patched and service packed up, it works so if you’ve got a single PC, or a floor of PCs that you’ve recently rolled out with Vista, is spending money on upgrading to Windows 7 really necessary?

There’s a lot to get through so let’s get on with it.

Price

The cost of any edition of Windows is always going to be something of a moving target as
