I'm no legal expert, but I think that if you/your program willfully attacks someone's computer system (even a "denial of services attack" such as renaming autoexec.bat) you open yourself up to legal liability.
Just about any decent DOS programmer could show you more ways to overtly and covertly screw up a system... But I won't be the one... If the program is still in use after the trial period, just nag them to death. If someone were to intentionally screw up my system, hey, I'd be looking up your home address... ;-)
