you DO realize that sending a virus to someone is, as someone else said, is illegal and punishable by law. You go to jail for that! I can't believe you were stupid enough to post a question like that on a public site! And go ahead, give me a low rating because I don't care. You'll get in more trouble than I will.

The first thing you do it learn how to type correctly. The second thing you do is realise that something like this is too much trouble to actually do.


I don't know of any site which archives viruses in a deliverable form, but there's loads of them on P2P networks. Probably your best bet is to search for '.exe' and download a few small files from the results (probably less than 100K). Copy them to a seperate folder, then run a virus scanner on them (most virus scanners have a 'scan file' option, possibly accessable from the right-click menu). It will most likely indicate that one or more of them is infected. It will probably report what it is infected with, so you can look that up on the internet and see what it does. Most viruses these says are non-destructive, so if you want to bother the person you're probably best off looking for a browser hijacker or other malware. If you're a '1337 h4x0r' you can use a trojan and subsequently gain access to their computer, but you're not.

Attach the program to an email and send it to them. You will have to convince them to open the attachment, so you'll have to come up with a compelling story which will cause them to do so. Send the email.

At this point it's out of your hands. For it to work, the person will have to both not have a virus scanner installed, and be stupid enough to open the attachment.


I suppose I'm obliged to point out that giving people viruses is bad, but I can't really bring myself to care.

Why do you want to know?

And I am pretty sure you meant "send" instead of seen. I am pretty sure sending viruses via email is considered a malicious attack on a computer and is againts the law.
