[Solved] What does this Notepad code do and how does it work?

Question

I’m not familiar with Notepad code, but this looks like almost any batch file. Assuming that assumption is accurate, the first line verifies the date. If it does not equal 2015/8/27 execution will jump to the “exit” label, after which the process will terminate. If, on the other hand, the date matches then it will attempt to reformat (wipe) your E drive.

In other words, you are right not to trust it. Don’t run it.
