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.
There used to be a shitton of silly viruses back in the day.
I wrote a “virus” in college, which basically:
- took a screenshot of the entire desktop
- displayed screenshot full-screen on top of other windows
- 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
May i point you to a thing i’ve once made:
How about one that jumpscares you. Or replaces windows with Linux
are you referring to a gnu system?
No no, I’m talking alpine Linux
linux is just the kernel!1!1!!1!1!1!!!
Why did the folder have a file extension
It’s an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.
Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:
payday
groceries.exe
steak on sale
dinner.exe
It’s being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the “It’s dangerous to go alone…” meme.
But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.
I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.

Perfect way to get a nasty virus.
