I think it would be cool to be able to program viruses on here. You can have like a Virus attack window and you attack them to install a virus on them. There could be a Virus level and the higher it is the faster you can install the virus and the stronger functions you can use. The virus could like lower your attack damage or give you extra cpu, some how slow the game down. The virus could be like a hidden file, and you would have to use a program to get rid of it. You could have the a level that allows you to make a program to defend against it and remove it. With a higher level it could destroy stronger viruses and destroy them faster. When programing viruses you can choose how it would be hidden. With higher level you can make more hidden viruses. One could be a file in the hd or a watch. Then a high level one could be to be a hidden file that you can't see when uploading the hd. The virus program would be constantly running and maybe even be triggered by another person. Also you could make the program like be harder to destroy. Like have defense from being destroyed. If someone couldn't destroy it, they would have to buy the program from someone. Viruses would make the game very interesting and fun to program.
virus in files
I did not check myself but what about hacktendo games as possible viruses? I guess it won't be possible - but as long as nobody tries it, nobody will know.
Hacktendo can't use File
Hacktendo can't use File I/O.

RE:Viruses
I think an effective way to do this is to have an optional argument to installScript(scriptName);
then you could have it pass scriptName to other players attack ports with maybe a zombie(); in there, but also containing installScript(scriptName); so it would just spread and spread, but still be easy to prevent so its fairly balanced..
