File Destructor lets you send junk files to your boss or teacher

File Destructor
Look, we know you meant to paper that report last night. Sure, your final grade depends on it. But you know, the call of World of Warcraft was just too great. So what are you going to do? You could bust your butt to finish your paper today and still hand it in late. Or you could send your teacher a "corrupted" file called "term paper.doc" and hope that by the time she figures out what you've done, you can finish your assignment and send it in with a note saying "sorry, I think there was a problem with my computer."

File Destructor is a web tool that lets you create junk files look like real files, except they don't do anything. Need a 312MB MPG file or a 12KB Word document? File Destructor can help. Or rather, it can't, but it can make it look like you've got such a file. A word of caution though: While you can create and download a phony Word or text document in no time flat, it takes a while to download large files from File Destructor. So we wouldn't recommend faking your film class's final video project.

It probably goes without saying, but Download Squad assumes absolutely no responsibility if you should be dumb enough to actually try anything we recommended in the previous two paragraphs.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
