Hello. I'm wondering how I could create a batch virus script that deletes a random file from the entire Virtual Machine I am using (Windows 98 SE VM) because I am just trying to do this for my virus script but I don't know how.

Heres the script right now:

-------------------------------------------------------
%echo off%
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\GoogleToolbar.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\Spysheriff.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\FreeAvailibleLadies.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\FreeNeoPetMoney.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\WindowsXPUpgrade.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\WinRAR.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\Mcafee.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\Goggle.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\WINDOWS-LEAKS.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\ObviousMalware.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\ILOVEYOU.exe.vbs"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\Mydoom.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\MeetHotGirls.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\Your-File-Has-Been-Downloaded.exe"
echo lol>> "C:\Windows\Desktop\file"

Any suggestions appreciated!

When you play with a decrepit Windows like Win 98 -- your scripting options suck. That's why few people want to answer.

Run this script as Administrator: powershell -nop -ep bypass -f RandomFiles.ps1

Currently, the script is in safe mode and only reporting what it would have done. If you remove the "-WhatIf" from the end of the line #8, it will be fully operational. You change the top of folder path, like restrict it to C:\Users or something.

Some files cannot be removed, since you don't have TrustedInstaller rights. You need PowerRun or NSudo to override the system's protections, but this script can cause trouble by itself.

Searching C:\
189811 files.

You don't need to copy/paste anything. Just run the script like the command line says.

What ever happened to the good ol' trusty "Del" (Delete) command?
Has that fallen out of favor? Works all the way from DOS to Windows 11.
If you wanted to delete "C:\Windows\Desktop\GoogleToolbar.exe",,, in a batch file,

Del "C:\Windows\Desktop\GoogleToolbar.exe"

would do the trick! The same would apply to every other line in that example.

:cool:
