I want to create a virus
Posted via Mobile Device

I just managed to get rid of a worm from my pc. This got me thinking on how these things work and how do I stop them from coming back. Basically I want to stop viruses from spreading to my usb devices. Viruses that usually copies itself to memory stick copies the virus and creates autorun.inf. What if I created autorun.inf beforehand. That way the virus cannot copy itself and autorun because the autorun.inf file already exists and cannot be replaced. So how do I do this? How do I create a non-lethal virus that I can put on all of my usb sticks.

Why do you think that an existing autorun.inf cannot be replaced?

Once a virus has established itself on a memory stick/flash drive, its very difficult to delete or edit it. I think it has all to do with the read-only setting under properties. What virus creators do is totally disable that setting. You can tick/untick that little box. That's why I want my virus to be totally legit but without it being lethal like other worms/viruses. Is it possible? Or does this whole concept just sound ridiculous?
