A Self Destructing Program in C
Submitted by Srikanth on Saturday, 1 March 200816 Comments
This program will destroy itself upon execution. The program will cause the .exe file to be deleted upon execution. That is this program is capable of destroying itself upon execution. Here is the code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<dos.h>
void main()
{
printf(“This program will destroy itself if u press any key!!!\n”);
getch();
remove(_argv[0]);/*array of pointers to command line arguments*/
}
#include<conio.h>
#include<dos.h>
void main()
{
printf(“This program will destroy itself if u press any key!!!\n”);
getch();
remove(_argv[0]);/*array of pointers to command line arguments*/
}
HOW TO COMPILE ?
Load the source code to the compiler and compile (press Alt-F9) and then press F9. This will generate the .exe file in the current directory (Bin directory). Execute this .exe file it will destroy itself upon execution.

i donot understand remove(_argv[0])
Whenever we run any program the element _argv[0] (array of ptrs to command line arguments) contains the name of the program itself.For eg: If we are running a program(.exe file) whose name is “sample.exe” then the _argv[0] would contain this name.That is why we are passing _argv[0](nothing but the name of the program) as an argument to remove() function which will delete itsef eventually

Copy and paste the code to a notepad. Rename the extension from .txt to .C, now compile it to get an executable(.exe file). Now if you execute/run this file it’ll destroy itself upon execution.
