[C++] Turn monitor on/off (can be used in your minivirus)

[snipesh0tz]

Hi all,

Here's a little code how wich can help you making a minivirus

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

{
// Turns the monitor off
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, (LPARAM) 2);

// Higher number is longer monitor off.
Sleep(500);

// Turns monitor on
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, (LPARAM) -1);

return 0;
}

You can add such things as changing wallpaper during that the monitor is off. Or open webpages

No problem.
U could add things like put it on start-up and change sleep to a higher number.
He'll get angry
