Could someone tell me what upgrading to a Batch File (level 1) does specifically?

Here you can review the virus that you currently have and upgrade it to **infect more machines each tick**, which in turn will create more income for you.
In short, I dunno, just know its a good thing!

It's the base virus, it's your income per tick, basically.

Does anyone know by how much?
I'd like to figure out how long it takes to pay for itself etc.

Holy F, I just hit Anonissimus for 21,000 credits. Not bad for my 4th attack

Every tick it infects more machines, each of which generates 5 credits, it looks like. So a level 1 virus infects two more machines every tick. A level 2 infects 4 per turn, next is 8, etc.

Damn it! I have the shittiest luck with attacks. 67% of 0 credits.... 0 credits.
Oh well, I've gotta get some stuff done today. I sold all my mhz and kbps; upgraded the virus & put the remainder into kbps. (I probably could have grabbed a calculator, but was too lazy) - I had enough left over for a single 28k modem.
yoyo, with the level 3 virus, you get 480 credits per tick. To get to that level, it was 15k + 30k + 60k = 105k total spent. Plus, I get 16 infections per tick. Each tick is 30 minutes, so every 24 hours, I'll have 48 ticks = 23,040.
My new strategy - about every 2 1/2 hours, I'll do my 5 attacks. I'm not going to worry about the mhz any more - I've only been attacked once. It's not worth wasting credits on right now. I'll get a little bit larger of a vault & even if attacked - no big deal... no credits lost. I'll keep upgrading my vault until it can hold all the credits I'd accumulate in roughly a day. I'll keep upgrading my bandwidth so that eventually, I can go after the higher level players. Mhz comes later.

Hmm I might check this out, marking for later.
Is there any aspect of this game that can be enhanced by the "technological endeavors" of members here?
