My First program!

[derekimo]

Probably the same reason for the warning in IE, it's an unsigned program.

Couple others besides Norton don't like it.

It's just a toy, they are probably flagging some aspects like the shutdown or the cleanup functions.

Im currently learning c++ at the moment trying to extend my knowledge!

Since this is the goal - then good job.

If the goal is to make a tool that you will distribute to others, then several things should be changed.

For the "YouTube" option, (the T should be uppercase) and you are launching the default browser using the high integrity level. This is not a good/safe thing to do.


Your line for deleting Temporary Internet Files is missing a switch.
I'll let you figure out what it should be


I don't understand your lines like this...
if exist "C:\WINDOWS\Users\*.zip" del "C:\WINDOWS\Users\*.zip" /f /q

if not exist C:\WINDOWS\Users\Users\*.* goto skippy /f /q
if exist C:\WINDOWS\Users\AppData\Temp\*.zip del C:\WINDOWS\Users\Users\*.zip /f /q


The whole cleanup section is - well - different

Did you hard code the drive letter to be C when building the temp batch file or did you gather it from an environment variable?

Hello guys,

So here is my first program, check it out advice is all appreciated!

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hphelpful/

I won't download in until i know what it does. Maybe add a description in your first post.

Maybe it does because the person who made this doesn't have a description of what it does!!

My point exactly.

The link in the first post takes you to a page with a description and screenshots.

 

[Britton30]

Thanks UNI, I hadn't look since it was 1st posted, the page has changed. The screenshots aren't real helpful.



While I'm sure it's safe, neither Norton on MBAM will let it download for me.

[Britton30]

Odd, this is how it looks in Opera as well, SourceForge must have the wrong document modes, or something, set wrong.

 

[Callender]

Guys - suggest that you look here

Take a look:

Looks a lot like: 5 Cool Batch Files : PC Cleanup Utility

and here it's been modified to cause a scare
Batch Utilities - Batch Professional

and also here:
Batch File Tricks (Item 4)

Comments: Hardly original and not very effective as cleanup script!

Note: Yesterday the download linked by the OP wasn't detected on VT (I scanned with PE Studio) but at the current time it is.

The script appears to want to delete all temp files on the system partition and there's lots of lines that seem pointless!

Just my opinion.

 

[Britton30]

Does VT mean VirusTotal?

 

[Callender]

VT means Virus Total

Does VT mean VirusTotal?

Yes it does. Sorry, should have been clear. Ran it sandboxed - no issues found.

Edit: Ran the executable sandboxed.

Ran the executable under WinDbg and it created a batch file in Appdata but I looked at the batch file without running it.

 

[UsernameIssues]

I do not think that the OP was/is focusing on the batch file. As mentioned/quoted below, this exercise was to learn C++. The OP's exe creates and runs the temp file (which is the modified batch file).

Im currently learning c++ at the moment trying to extend my knowledge!

Since I have never written anything in C++, I don't know how much of a challenge this would be (create/run a file). I've done that task many times via AutoIt, but I guarantee you - if I compiled such a script - the exe would be flagged by one or more antivirus apps. That is why I ask members to just run my scripts as text files.

Edit/Update:
VirusTotal's assessment of the AutoIt script linked to above...
...when compiled:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...3205c8b2d419e18053b9ef37/analysis/1399864691/

VirusTotal's assessment of the AutoIt script linked to above...
...when the compiling process also compresses with UPX:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...09a49e40fcd9e95fe2296624/analysis/1399864688/
Notice the hit from MalwareBytes.

I win...

...my AutoIt script (when compiled) is more evil than the OP's


Below I've attached a ZIP that contains my script.
AutoIt is distributed with several (136) scripts that you can call/include so that AutoIt users don't have to re-invent that particular wheel. I used Timer.au3 in my script, so I've included it in the ZIP in case some of you want to glance at it.

It seems like Malwarebytes is flagging the UPX compression and not the actions of the script.

 

[Callender]

AV Flagging

Yes I understand that if a file is flagged up it doesn't mean that it's dodgy. Especially if it's newly created.

It just seems to create a batch file - no problem there:



It doesn't seem to change anything in the registry either:



Or attempt to run more than one executable or launch any scripts:



I didn't much care for the poorly written batch file though!

 

[UsernameIssues]

~~~
I didn't much care for the poorly written batch file though!

Agreed. I mentioned that too in my earlier comments.

Perhaps the OP has learned a bit about staking one's reputation on copy/paste/edit code.

I promise its safe guys, honestly!

It is not safe to visit YouTube with a browser running at the high integrity level.

You app offers to do that for the user.
