Test your PC's performance with my virus :P

I was bored in C++ class and wrote this "virus" which opens up solitaire 500 times, then explorer 500 times. The explorer part does not really work though, on the PCs at the college after about 200 copies of solitaire it just craps out, on mine at home it opens all the solitaires in about 3 seconds, then only crashes at explorer, and the crash is not that bad, just errors that it can't start.

So just rename this to .exe and run it.

WARNING: THIS MAY CAUSE YOUR PC TO BECOME UNSTABLE, CLOSE ALL YOUR APPLICATIONS AND ASSUME YOU WILL BE FORCED TO REBOOT.

Have fun!

Haha yeah I made a better one last year. It was during Visual Basic class so I was even more bored. The most complicated thing we did in that class was a program that can store a fixed value inside a database. This database was simply a static sized array.

What's fun is declaring a 1MB char array pointer in a while(1) loop but never calling delete on it. One of my apps did that, I would watch it get in 1st place in the task manager when sorted by memory used.
