Hi all,I have a problem:My PC has a startup with a password, but a player of the server has bypassed with a floppy in the drive to halt the PC.I would like to block this "virus" that when the process: start-up, is turned on if you insert the floppy disk into the player, the player will droppi, spitting as you want,I already fixed termination with the CTRL + T,this virus is new to me ….how can I do?

Sorry for error but I used Google Translator, I'm Italian

I don't believe it's possible, but you can do something that eject the disk on every sides, the only problem with that is if you turn off the computer, insert the disk and the turn it on again the disk's startup will run. Ask for code if needed, I made a virus with that. :)/>

make a diskdrive next to the computer and put your pogram in there named startup ;)/>

That way, you have already overwritten.

Not just next to, on top of. And it would probably be a good idea to block THAT disk drive with obsidian. Unless the server has a world lock (or whatever), in which case I would use furnaces or chests.

Generally, you need to make it so that the person seeking to enter the password can only access the computer from one direction. This means that if a disk drive is placed from that side, the computer can no longer be accessed and thus cannot be shutdown. You can also have the program loop eject a disk on that side, if one is present.

But the best thing is to have a terrible deathtrap that your program loop is suspending from occurring, like a dead-man's switch. If anyone messes up your computer, lava. Lot's of lava.

Better yet, the computer is a decoy/trigger, the moment they touch it in any way, lava time while they're fooling around with stuff.
