What is 'start cmd.EXE', then :goto loop?

Question

I found a document on our computer, in notepad, having this, exactly, typed in it. My brother has been on the computer, and I have no idea what it is or what it does. What does it do, is it bad for the computer, and should I delete the document? I couldn't find out what it is on Yahoo, or Google, and he's not above doing something stupid.

Also, is the game Burning Sand filled with viruses?

Here it is in it's entirety.
@echo off
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
start cmd.EXE
:goto loop

Answer 1

DO NOT RUN THIS...it will keep executing command prompt until your computer crashes basically...

If it opened in a text file, then the person trying to do it obviously doesn't know how to use batch files... but just delete it don't do anything with it

For it to work, its creator should have saved it as a .bat file and when you clicked it it would have opened



Oh and you can have a star because i found this question particularly interesting... this is something i've been working on all weekend (but not to crash computers :] i was making programs)



EDIT: If ur brother did make it, then i recommend that you explain what would have happened if he ran it...
