Cool ideas for viruses
PostPosted:Fri Jan 13, 2006 9:26 am
Since we're on the subject of free speech and annoying people, whatever happened to the "cool" viruses? Back in the day, when viruses were a new thing, there were all kinds of ones that did stuff like melt your screen or falling letters on the console, or even stuff like format your HD.
Maybe formatting your HD isn't cool, but you don't see that happen much any more. Computers that had the expire date and killed your PC? Hell, with how fast viruses spread, why not? Here's some viruses ideas that nobody's done:
1. Spread, wait a week, and format the HD. Or overclock the PC, or whatever it takes to destroy a piece of hardware. Maybe it can do it every Saturday or something.
2. Every night at about 3AM, surf the web for gay porn, and print out as much of it as possible on every printer it can find. Then replace the desktop with gay porn. The next day, the family or business will have to figure out why they have this gay porn on the printer, and where the hell all of the toner and paper went.
3. Go into the e-mail and replace random text with AYB before it gets sent out.
4. Get random documents out of My Documents and send it to random people on e-mail lists. Top secret document discussing payrolls? Not any more. Do the same with saved passwords. Make sure the e-mails don't have any keywords or anything that could be blocked by an anti-virus scanner.
5. Take advantage of the idea about a Post Office DOS, and automate it in a virus. Just grab a random address and start using it to receive catalogues, etc.
