This fake run dialogue can be used instead of the real windows run dialogue in order to waste the tech support scammers time and confuse them.

It is based upon the windows 7 run dialogue, but is not noticeably different from the run dialogue in most other windows versions when not side by side.

Many commands commonly used by scammers, such as cmd, msconfig and eventvwr are handled by this, but they provide results that the scammer would not be expecting, for example, the eventvwr command will bring up a dialogue saying everything looks normal. cmd will bring up the command prompt, but this is great when used in combination with my fake command prompt, also available on sourceforge.

Commands not included all come back with the usual error as displayed for invalid entries in the real run dialogue.
