I was able to write this, when I was 5 years old. Then the knowledge disappeared and I learned Batch again (more than before). That is NOT a virus, the name of the thread must be changed. And it should be also in the Batch/Shell scripting forum, I think.

1. A virus needs to replicate itself by injecting itself into other files/processes. So this is just kinda malware.

2. This is kinda a forkbomb...you can do this much more effectively with the batch code:

Code:
%0|%0

Which attempts to execute itself twice(each process then tries to execute itself twice...)) leading to resource exhaustion.
