How to make a fake virus with AppleScript

[VcolonelsandersV]

you sound like you just cut your throat, and after that drank purple cough syrup mixed with salt.

@Rahrgaust make sure that shut down is on a new line. Youtube wouldn't let me put it on separate lines for some reason. :O

[Rahrgaust]

You can change the code from making the computer to sleep into making the computer actually shut down. It's this code:

tell application "Finder" shut down

end tell

@whoAMi1024x768 I hadn't hit puberty yet. Get over it.

you can add a title to the script by adding  with title " " where you put the icon. example: display dialog "Hi" with title "Hello"

@Kylerjt can you tell me the icons that u can put in plz?

[kylerjt]

@Idontknowhat2callmyf Hi there is "with icon note" (That shows the icon of the app running it) "With icon stop" (That's the alert shown here) and "with icon caution" (That's a little warning icon with the app icon)

P.S. make sure it is on the same line as your dialog code (That was what happened in the video)

P.P.S. The are ways to use your own icons, but I'm not sure how.

[Idontknowhat2callmyf]

Wish icon what?

Very good video. I don't think you need to mention that it uses ScreenFlow in the description as it is very apparent in the actual video.

for some reason this works but when i made this more complicated there was an error in something the computer wrote

[kylerjt]

@appleintosh What was the code? I might be able to help you.

I just got into apple script tonight, and I learned how to do the title

Right after the:

display dialog ""

enter:

with title "Virus Detector"

then continue with your code.
