Simple Virus in C++ to disable the Task Manager

[EdaLinhart]

FindWindow(NULL, "#32770");

this part doesnt work for me. It says: "Argument of type "Const char *" is incompatible with parameter of type "LPCWSTR"

And my Visual studio disagrees to compile it.

[TheFreeHackerSpirit]

You're a true coder, mate. Good programmers are writing in notepad :D

[Nhckrify44]

The major problem is that the code does not disable any but the English version of Task Manager.

[LUKASHSANCHES]

@Nhckrify44 Change "FindWindow(NULL, "Windows Task Manager")" to "FindWindow("#32770", NULL)", it might work.

That's not a virus. That's just a piece of code that does bullshit on other people's computers. By definition virus is a piece of code that can replicate itself!

rundll32 Task Manager, disabled save.bat

[PushXOR]

This doesn't disable the Task Manager, it only detects if it's open, and once it's open it closes it. The problem with that is, someone can easily exit the console window, to end the program, allowing the Task Manager to run again. So you'd need a class to hide prevent the console from closing.

@PushXOR FreeConsole()

Console is now hidden.

[Zookei]

@PushXOR Ive got the perfect code for hiding the console :D

[gamehugs]

When you download the source file you have to change WM_Close to WM_CLOSE to compile it.

noob



[CooperLuke1]

Nice, but, wouldn't it be easier just to create a registry value to disable task manager? That way it would prevent the user from even opening the Task Manager window. :D

[YorkeKin]

strange that wont work in my pc

however it works in my friends ....

[MrPonebo]

Thanks, I was wondering how to close a file.

[gamerbot101]

pointless..... i like .bat viruses on notepad... there acctualy realy cool and deadly.

[071598dave]

@gamerbot101 You really dont know shit about hacking/programming.

[101abob]

nice

[gottn211]

Can i Reverse this thing somehow?

[carstenclay2]

Dude you do not disable taskmgr! You just close it everytime some1 opens it....To disable you have to add a reg entry at run/policies

[honeyyou12]

ur a fucking asshole

[xxHitmanxxORxx]

this is stupid

[Shadddoww]

cant create it with visual c++ 2008???????

[xXWhiteBoy89Xx]

How can you fix it ? Do you restart your computer..

[Crawletas]

haha i can make it better, just add FreeConsole(true);

task manager will never be open again unless you restart the pc

[dertyp3000]

ok and my is the best: i replace int main() with int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) and replace Sleep(1000); with Sleep(100);

[unknownliviu]

good

[ErikJThompson]

Great ! Now put a video on how to fix the task manager ! I am a victim of this hack........Thanks ..

[raver345]

so what you pop it in a notepad and program it in cmd and you can send it or something :S

srry i never coded in my life before XD

[stefannikolovski1234]

me ....

[170819901]

I 've tried everything and it won't open as a cmd file

[tekg33k93]

you need to compile your cpp file. in the video, jdswfan013 uses g++. you can also use other ways. just google "how to compile a cpp file". that should do the trick.

[jdswfan013]

I have a guild on how to set up mingw (g++), check it out =)

[yo3443]

what's mingw(g++)? or is that just a typo?

[yo3443]

@jdswfan013 what is g++?

[AES256bit]

It's not a virus. But still shows you know some Win32. One way you try to do that is call FindWindow in a loop and terminate once found. Or a CreateWindow/Ex maybe even a RegisterClass hook which basically checks if the TaskManger class is registered or made.

[equin0x80]

Except that it's not a virus at all because it doesn't copy itself. It's just a lame GUI trick.

[jdswfan013]

yeah i know.... my next vid will have it copy itself to the system32 directory and start at startup.

[equin0x80]

Which still isn't a virus, because viruses spread from one machine to another.

[MrBobsrevenge]

@equin0x80 do you know any c++ codes that are real viruses?

[equin0x80]

Programming is like Lego. You're given a set of tools and you can create what you want out of that. There isn't some fixed set of secret "codes" that you have to learn. And that aside, virus-writing is lame.

[THEBUGUSER]

how do you do compile with cmd o.O thats awesome :D

[jdswfan013]

Check out my other video "How to install, download and set up mingw"

It will show you how to set up to compile with cmd ^^

[THEBUGUSER]

thanks man :D

[greatbird451]

hey, you can change the while(running=true) to while(1) and remove the running variable

[jdswfan013]

Thx for the tip ^^

[ArKaNeSSS]

goku

[Fisto011]

lol you do

[honeyredxbox]

lolol, you fail at making viruses
