This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

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
