Problem

Ok, basically, I’m a child of 16 and i found a .bat file at school and used it to message my friends.

“@echo off
:A
Cls
echo MESSENGER
set /p n=User:
set /p m=Message:
net send %n% %m%
Pause
Goto A”

I thought all it did was send them a message but i have been caught using it and the head of ICT says that it has a lasting effect on a computer..

He has threatened me under the Computer Misuse Act on 1990. Article 3.2.a, “impairing the operation of a computer”. I do not believe that this file dos this and i do not think that it warrants a ban from computer access for 3 weeks at school during important coursework. I came here to think see what the experts though..
