I thought about this for a game idea earlier today, and thought about asking for a short "How-To" about it.

So, how would I make a fake virus in python, where, when something happens, the security system in question detects something that didn't actually do anything?

so do you want to make a game with a virus, or do you want to make a program that an OS or anitvirus would identify as a virus but that doesn't actually do anything?

#

or something else entirely?

A game that runs a false virus when you reach a certain point in the game

#

And the game subsequently shuts down as well

#

Basically, I want to make it so when the game shuts down, an actual threat warning appears, but it's a false positive and the virus itself doesn't actually cause any problems

#

maybe it can create a registry file that's just a fucking rickroll?
