exe files

[xy994]

is it possible to change an exe file to appear as a jpg or ppt file but it still be opened and executed when sent as an attachment?

Almost all mail servers and mail programs block emails with .exe files. What I do is change the extension and tell the recipient to rename the file. For example, if I wanted to email the file "mail.exe," I would change it to "mail.ghy," send it, and, in the email, instruct the recipient to rename the file to "mail.exe."

It seems that you want to make a virus or some malware

actually i purchased a spyware program to install on my laptop pc that travels with other people. i need to send it remotely in an email and disguise it as a different file type if possible. i own the target computer and the persons using it need to be monitored uknowingly and i do not have physical access to it.

It is illegal to monitor a person in such a manner, and we can not help you "spy" on anyone. Sorry.

Besides, the methods you are describing wouldent work anyways. If you made a EXE into a JPEG file, you would just get an error opening describing that the file was the wrong format and could not be opened or may be corrupt.

Thanks, Zylstra.

For the record, my above post is a means to transmit, via email, legal .exe files to knowing persons.

Further, to qinghao - you were right on.
