O.P. Dummy program
Does anybody know how I can make a program for Windows XP that does nothing but exit as soon as it is launched? I don't want it to be visible, and I want it to be fast.

C++
code:
int main ()
{
  return 0;
}

Visual Basic
code:
sub main ()
end sub

It won't allow you to accept certain file extenions such as .js etc if virus scanning is disabled.

Indeed, and since my virusscanner already scans all files on-access there is no reason to scan twice.

I can't remember of AVG does on-access scanning, but there's nothing wrong with scanning a file twice. I'd rather know if I've been sent a dodgy file before I get round to opening it.

That's what I wanted it for. Bloody cheap WLM not with an option to disable virus scanning and still use easy transfers.

Also, I don't want to make one myself (mainly because I can't), so that's perfect.

Thanks everybody!

I know Spybot - Search&Destroy employs something similar when you have to reboot your computer to get rid of the more stubborn files.

But nice file, It will come in handy.
