I have a folder of "pranks" like these from way back and they were harmless but sure enough they fire off modern anti virus software.

I made one called "crash_bandicoot.exe" that opened the windows calculator in an infinite loop.

I had one of those, but it was just called putting something on the calculator key.

The modern school equivalent of cheap pranks on computers isn't some elaborate virus, it's just pressing the "mail" or "calculator" keys on the keyboard for the guy next to you. Never personally witnessed anything more elaborate, though my classmate apparently distributed dubious batch files he wrote once

How about the one that launched a dialog box: "Do you have a small penis? Yes/No", and if you moved your mouse near the "No" button, the button would run away around the screen?

Man, good times.
