I like the YouAreAnIdiot “virus”, easy to get rid off if you know what you’re doing, and a funny flash video jumping around your computer is unique lol Though it doesn’t need to tell me I’m an idiot, I know I am already lmao
I have a friend who made small, but VERY annoying prank programs. Like at random the cursor movements would be inverted. Sometimes only up/down, sometimes only left/right or both. It would last about a second, enough for you to notice and eventually go slightly insane. Another one I remember was if you opened Word, WordPad or similar text program everything would appear normal. But as soon as you started typing it would set the font size to something like 600 - one letter per page.
This music is a real bop. It just had me like, "The time has come," while I'm just head-bopping as fast as I could. I got dizzy afterwards, but it was worth it.
I miss my era of school computers. Stuff was so new and buggy still, when I was at school we had to use this roster making program to plan a bunch of your own classes (some classes were set in stone and mandatory, but depending on which classes you were taking/what projects you were working on, you could plan like 10-15 hours a week yourself, with this new program. The idea was that you could only plan 2 hours of free time, and were required to fill in all the other open slots with classes, but we quickly realized we could copy paste the free hours into every slot, and since they relied on the system to warn them about students not following enough hours, I had almost a year of 20 hour school weeks.
Rewind it back to when I was 9 years old, before it was common knowledge that browsing the internet unsupervised was dangerous for kids, there was I, as free as a bird. Innocently and naively, I ventured forth into the world wide web, gleefully asking Jeeves the questions every 9 year old wants to know on my Netscape browser using my father's premium 512kbps dial-up connection on a Windows 98 computer. Alas, my knowledge of PCs and the Web expanded - I vaguely knew about the concept of a virus (Yes, I know this isn't a virus), but of course, I was a foolish 9 year old kid, and I had not yet developed the depth of decision making and aptitude required to avoid nasty surprises. Aha, I thought, this game will be good, and so I patiently downloaded it. Imagine the terror in my heart as I realised something was very wrong and that I, was indeed, an idiot. Imagine my sheer horror at realising that closing the window only seemed to make the situation worse. Every time I clicked to close the window, more of the damn things were popping up, and suddenly my screen was entirely covered with bouncing windows and my speakers violently protested with the most inharmonious chanting the confirmation of my stupidity. I will never forget that day.
Don't worry, when I was 9 I used PC for the first time in my life (windows XP). After using it for about half an hour I downloaded a virus. Before I know it, the entire screen is filled with porn tabs and windows. I don't remember if I got punished or not, but it was funny
I once tried making this in my school's computer lab and my computer teacher saw me and scolded me. Not because I was going to create a virus, but because I used the word "idiot" which is supposed to be a very filthy cuss word according to him.
Stuff like this was pretty common until the early/mid 2000s. I even wrote some myself. One program I wrote was something that took screenshots of the screen, opened a new borderless window and set the screenshot as its background so it appeared as if the PC was frozen. Another one I did printed "FEEEEEED MEEEE" on the screen and opened the CD drive (back when PCs still had CD drives) at random intervals throughout the day. I had to manually install them though, I wasn't an asshole :D I miss Windows XP.
Do you have any videos that talked about how to code stuff like this? I'm not gonna use it for malicious stuff obviously but I'm interested in learning coding stuff.
@@afunkylittleguy Nah, that was before making videos about everything was a thing. I mean, I had 512kbit Upload during that time. :D Honestly? I just used Visual Basic to do that kind of stuff and coded in Visual Studio 2003 or 2005, don't really remember. There are a lot of good Coding channels out there by people who are MUCH better at coding than me, e.g. Brackeys or freecodecamp. Give them a try to get started. Also a lot of things have changed, there are a lot of protective measures nowadays that didn't exist back in the day, like a fully integrated anti virus with the operating system. In the 2000s there were people who used Norton and (god forbid) McAffee.
@@B20C0 lol norton, I remember starting a scan of my laptop (with a floppy drive) and leaving it for half a day to finish. Also I had copied the code for that vbs script that open and closes the CD drive randomly from somewhere, and the only way I could stop it was close the pc...
@@afunkylittleguy You can just learn on any other websites, all phones, smart TVs, or any technology that uses a processor, uses binary, programming languages are just a tool for you to use.
0:10 split second it shows the bottom left corner of the monitor and the HP logo as well, can confirm this was not a laptop, now that my work here is done, imma go be a massive asshole somewhere else.
Imagine a virus that covers the whole screen with the default windows screen or whatever with nothing turned on, and it’s just a png that covers everything so you can’t even see anything loading up and you just perpetually think nothing is loading.
@@saarza9991 have fun blocking all shortcuts that prompt a new window in some sort or ctrl + alt + del. If you are gonna block all of those, you could better create a virus that locks the whole computer.....
TY for making this vid because if I got you are an idiot on my computer I would get my phone and search this vid and BOOM I did it so TY TY TY SO MUCH!
Him: *Opens the virus* Virus: ''You are an idiot!'' Him: ''Yes, I am.'' Also him: *Clicks the right button* Virus: ''Wut?'' The virus: ''Do I look like an *idiot* to you? -'' Him: ''Remember that one button that cancels anything?'' Virus: ''No.. why?'' Him: ''Well, I just pressed that.'' Virus: ''But it does nothi-'' Virus: *closes* *Good Ending*
I remember setting up a script to close all Windows when you closed a single tab. Also, an auto shutdown button every time you did something, I forgot. I still remember the students thought that ONE computer at the lab was cursed lol
I was on my computer many years ago when I got a pop up window that I couldn’t exit out of. It kept saying things like, “I’m awful”, “I’m so lonely”, “I’m depressed”. I tried a few things and nothing would make it stop. Finally, I typed “I love you” and the screen said “Thank you!” And it closed and never came back. I don’t know how my computer got infected, and I can’t find any information about it because all that pops up when I search is about the Love Bug virus, but it was pretty funny. I was just glad it didn’t damage anything.
I remember doing this in the computer lab (mac)! I didn’t realize at that time that I don’t know how to force shut down a mac The teacher slowly enters the room as I try to figure out how to force shut down Then I was able to shut it down That was like the biggest suspense scariest moments in my life
I do this ALL the time in class. I send my friend an email with the link and it’s pretty funny because it can’t actually harm ur computer, because you just have to restart it
I uploaded a memez virus and I went to my teacher and I was like "What's happened to this laptop??" She didn't know so she took to the head, unfortunately this snitch saw me and told
I was at the beginning of my computer journey, and I wanted to play CS 1.6. I found a CS 1.6 executable, at around 6 MB or something. I ran it, and this software ran fullscreen. The screen went black, and a red text about formatting C: appeared, with a progress bar. I just froze, basically shitting myself thinking I am making the PC unusable, as it wasn't really mine, so I would've got into trouble for it 😅 After the progress bar reached 100%, it exited the fullscreen mode, showing in a small box that it was a joke. I never felt so relieved!
