Create fake Windows error messages

You may have never thought about it before, but computers are great tools to play pranks on people. Take a look at Message Box Toy and you'll see how.

Message Box Toy is a fake Windows message generator with which you can create your very own Windows messages and schedule them to appear on your victim's screen.

Message Box Toy includes all the characteristic elements of an error message: title, icon, text and a couple of buttons. You can freely customize all of them and add your own question, error message or warning divided into four different lines. As for the icon, you can choose between "Stop", "Exclamation", "Question" and "Information" icons.

The program saves then the error message as a TXT file, and here comes Message Box Toy's main drawback. There's no built-in scheduling system, so you'll need to use Windows Scheduled Tasks functionality – or some other third-party tool to schedule actions – if you want the messages to appear automatically.

With Message Box Toy you can create hilarious fake Windows messages, though you'll need another external tool to schedule them.

  • Pros

    • It doesn't require installation
    • Totally customizable text and buttons
  • Cons

    • You can't schedule the messages within the program

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
