I once wrote a batch file virus... it was mostly a proof of concept because the only programming documentation I had access to was an MSDOS 5 manual. It was a great manual!

I showed off the "net send" flood in my school which was a batch file that looked like this:

    :label
    net send username
    goto label

Someone then substituted * for username and flooded the network. I got to spend a week in in school suspension for that!!!
