Fourty days later, Anon finds that his entire computer file system has been replaced with pics of Morgan Freeman

Why aren't there viruses like this? Everyone wants to hurt your computer. Do something dumb like that.

Or a screamer virus. That could bring the world to its knees.

My idea was a worm that just torrents random shit and dumps it on your desktop like a cat bringing you a dead bat with "I broughted you a pwesent ^w^" energy.

Would be far more destructive on first world countries than third world countries

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Love it.

There used to be a shitton of silly viruses back in the day.

The "you are an idiot" one with the pop-up that runs away from your mouse cursor was hilarious.

I wrote a "virus" in college, which basically:

  1. took a screenshot of the entire desktop
  2. displayed screenshot full-screen on top of other windows
  3. would only go away if you typed "@sugar_in_your_tea pwned me" or something

Oh, and it started on startup, so rebooting wouldn't fix it. :)

I did one similar! Used autohotkey to hide the task bar at random intervals and pop up a warning that said "system out of memory". Only way to get it back was autohotkey or a reboot. It would restart daily and on login so it would keep happening. And I hid it as "Nvidia game scanner service.exe" in the Nvidia bloatware folder so it looked innocent. Had a good laugh about that one

I think that's because most viruses aren't made for fun but for a specific reason (i.e to steal money from someone's computer).

How about one that jumpscares you. Or replaces windows with Linux

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

are you referring to a gnu system?

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

No no, I’m talking alpine Linux

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

linux is just the kernel!1!1!!1!1!1!!!
