Simple program to spoof file extensions and icons.

**Warning: The program you are trying to spoof may start to change its name randomly (probably with a .tmp extension). This is Windows defenders fault, and you will most likely see pop up message in your bottom right corner. To fix this you can either disable Windows defender (not recommended) or whitelist the program. **

There are more file extensions that have identical functionalities to the .exe extension, namely .scr and .com. In FileSpoofer you can choose between these extensions, which can make your names and programs (viruses) seem extremely authentic. A lot of people know about the right-to-left override character, and are thus very aware of this attack. Most people do however not know about .com and .scr and their identical functionality to .exe. Even regular computer user get suspicious of the exe ending, as there are not a lot of words (if any) ending with exe. The .jar (java files) could also be a possibility, though not added yet.
