It's a bit worrying when someone says 'virus' when referring to some code.
If there is a legitimate reason and you explain further then it will help us to know what to suggest.

%0 is a variable that contains the path and name of the script that is currently running, so
will make a copy of the script in the folder you were in when you ran the script.

Why should anyone help you to do so in batch??
The real point is that you ask for free help and don't even want to tell anyone what you are doing - You just make cryptic comments about a virus.
Thread locked.

How hard would it have been for you to create a simple batch file with nothing more than
Then from there you would have realised what the variable is and then could have tested it with the copy command.
