Basically i just wanna learn the basics of scripting and creating a virus, and any help would be much appreciated

To be a hacker you need to learn to program code.
I suggest C.
This is because it's got both the high level and low level elements you need to be a true hacker.
Also, once you are good at 1 programming language, the rest are easy to learn.
Pick up these books:
C for dummies
C a visual quick start guide
Finish them first.
Then read/practice with this book:
K&R C programming.
Once you're finished that, then you can begin in earnest by going on hacker forums and learning the trade. Set yourself dozens of small projects and a couple of large ones. Complete them. All the way from Hello World to much more ambitious stuff like password cracking.
As you can probably tell, this isn't a thing that's going to take a few months to achieve, if you do it right it'd take about 2 years to get good.
On the bright side, afterwards you'll not have difficulty getting a job (you'll need to get some manner of certification, but there's plenty of ways to go about that).

Get a linux distro.
Learn bash.
Learn perl or python. (I prefer python)
Learn C++(My personal favorite C derivative.)
Keep backtrack handy and learn all its tools in and out (most of all metasploit)

If you only need virus, you can grab some freely available RAT such as Dark Comet, repackage and encrypt it so it does not get detected, and send it to your victim or anyone interested.
To became truly good hacker, you need to be smart, interested in every aspect of computer working and must spend years and years sitting by computer.
