If your making viruses and sending them out it could get you into trouble. Computer Misuse act - "You may not Change, break or copy files without permission". Therefore this is counted as illegal and we do not help with illegal activity on DaniWeb.

Don't worry about "accidentally" creating a virus from scratch. It's not gonna happen. Worry about detecting and removing it. Check here, here and here
