For a future stream, I want to wreck an XP install with all manner of malware, bloatware, and generally unhelpful programs until it shits itself. I want you to recommend me executables that are absolutely annoying and even destructive. I will also attempt to play games while malware is wreaking havoc on this computer.
Don't worry, I've taken multiple precautions to make sure I'm safe. I'm running this in a VMWare Workstation virtual machine. If the malware breaks out, Ubuntu as the host operating system will be very resistant to malware coded primarily for Windows. On the off chance a virus gets past all that, the computer I'm doing this on won't be networked to anything anyway. The only connection the computer will have to the outside work are viruses I give it via a cheap USB drive, and an HDMI connection to my external capture card.
To be safe, do not post a link to the malware. Just tell me what the name of said malware is and I'll find it on my own. That way, no one has to worry about clicking an AIDS ridden link by mistake.
And don't try this at home. I am a professional dumb ass. I'm not responsible if anything bad happens because you tried this yourself.
