How harmless are we talking? I'm thinking of one that randomly "locks" the next file you try to open that was last accessed over 30 days ago. It prompts you with "File locked by last user, please enter username/email and password"
No matter what you enter, it unlocks the file.
Then the next time it triggers, it prompts you again, but blocks you from using the same username and password.
Rinse and repeat while the user keeps giving you all their user names and passwords over time.
Bootable USB with w11
I did this in high school, it was just a basic script that spawned a warning dialog box (the kind thats always on top) that just said you can't close this, part of the script action was making tge task scheduler check every few seconds if the script was running... If it wasn't then run it.
Since I was making the task scheduler do the checking it meant even if you tried to task manager force close the script it would just open again in a few seconds, it was not a permanent task it was a temporary one and every opening of the script would reset that task so basically the only way to get rid of it was to restart the computer as that would clear the task.
It wasn't a file, it was a webpage. And it loaded infinite popups showing a dude's gaping anus, turned the volume up to 100%, and played a loop of "Hey everyone, I'm looking at gay porno!"
goatse
The mouse cursor switches between normal and inverted every 2 seconds.
I'll call it Windows 11.
There's a 1 in 50 chance that any copy text command cuts the text instead, and vice-versa.
I shall write a virus that makes the computer play the "USB device detached" sound followed shortly by the "USB device attached" sound. Dee doo. Doo dee. Just that. three or four times a week.
You are the worst so far
Diabolical, isn't it?
Calm down there, Satan.
When you click the mouse button, the pointer position moves up to 10px in a random direction before applying the click.
Alt+Tab goes to a random window instead of being in the order of recency
A virus that changes the font every time you go to a new page or hit refresh
Id actually enjoy that for a lot of things outside of books. And in books it is only a problem because some use font to point different povs or what not. Currently reading "the book of elsewhere" and I know this isnt the first by a longshot.
At first it all seems normal, every now and then a random sound effect is replaced by ominous hooting. Every hour, on the hour, a green owl flashes on the screen for a frame or two, it's eyes boring into you before vanishing. Once every 50 or so times it pumps your volume up, selects speakers as output and let's loose a screeching hoot. Random popups slowly ramping up "Restart your streak today", "Where did you go?", "Duo misses you". At first just once or twice a day, but steadily increasing in intensity till it's one every 23 seconds.
It said "harmless"…
Switch the M and N keymaps
Also delete and enter
Delete is the one we use to remove the character in front of the cursor, amiright? I feel like enter and backspace is more havok for the common keyboard user, but iv no idea for programmers and such.
yeah sorry had a 6am brainfart and meant backspace. But, on the other hand, they'd expect that one....
"sleep 1 >> etc/rc.local" >> etc/rc.local
Change the start menu search so instead of finding local applications and files, it searches the internet.
Would be even funnier if it used the worst search engine available.
Oh wait...
I hate that so much.
that's legit one of the worst parts about windows
Occasional mouse and keyboard lag up to 1 second.
Okay can I piss and moan about something tangentially related to this?
I've noticed that most video players, browser embeds, Youtube, VLC, whatever, have a run-on. You click pause, and the video keeps going for probably half a second, so if you're trying to capture a specific frame, fuck your sack.
In VLC you can hit E for Next Frame. I think its full stop on YouTube.
I'm wondering if that's something hardware decoder related (like it goes fuck it, I've decoded it, you're watching it), because I can't say I've noticed that on even the shittiest websites, at least on my PC.
On my dads computer, back in the day, I set the sound for every action in Windows to a silly song i downloaded off kazaa (Windows xp days, i believe)
So this was the sound that played for clicking the start menu, hovering over programs/apps, whatever it was and making that menu appear, and any sub menu for individual games or apps following that. Any kind of prompt like errors or "are you sures" etc, minimising/maximising a window. Everything!
That's what my virus would do. I just need the perfect sound to apply. Maybe that annoying tiktok song "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no no no no no!"
The version I recall was once if those Flash animations with a cute squirrel or whatever saying something... but it was really quiet so you'd need to turn up the volume to hear. Then partway through it changed to sex stuff and blasted out in a voice like a monster truck announcer
"anal sex dot com, all anal, all the time!"
It was not a virus, but still great fun: coworker had a fat UNIX workstation, but no idea of the particulars except for the program he was using. I knew my ways around such machines, and I could log in from another machine via serial terminal.
What the coworker knew about the audio capabilities of his machine was the occasional "beep" it made. I found the "auplay" command, and a list of 8-bit audio samples.
So one day I was sitting at the PC next to him, logged in, and command ready to run, and waited for an error message to pop up. Then I pressed return, starting "auplay laughter.au".
That face.
So you had the moment, and you just sent a laugh? Suspicious story edit imo, you streamed him a huge fart, didn't you?
Well hey, that domain's available!
Funny, though it is not an internet address but a filename.
