Present to Me Your Funniest Malware

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

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.

@UnemployedandMessy has said enough. BonziBuddy is the best malware ever created, except for the virus "You are stupid"

Limewire, just because sometimes you'd get the Bill Clinton voice clip instead of the song you wanted. Equally frustrating and hilarious not to mention you don't know how many viruses you amassed from it just to burn CDs. lol

I recommend you watch some Vinniesauce Joel videos on the subject to truly get to the meat of the issue... He has unearthed some pretty amazing ones that time forgot XD

then there's Vargskelethor Joel's destruction videos where he ruins all the different versions of Windows. lol

Those were actually what I was referring to. I just forgot the channel's actual name lol.

Not that ruining Windows is that hard or anything. Most of us have been doing it since Win 3.1 XD

BonziBuddy is funny but it's just spyware. If you want to really destroy your computer use Bonzify. It replaces everything with BonziBuddy.

Oh you already know we gotta run BonziBuddy and whatever other sketchy desktop pet we can get.

First, Limewire still works? Second, the system will be completely air gapped from the internet before running any sort of malware, with the video and audio output being sent to my main computer via an external capture card, so peer to peer file sharing programs or anything that demands an active internet connection will not work.

That's where I got the idea, but I'm letting the audience pick what utter nonsense I run :D

I'll add it to the list.

Holy shit that'll be so fucking funny

Here you go. This guy ran 6,000 old Windows viruses, probably some malware in there to boot.
Should give you some ideas. Good luck with that.

There's also rensenWare, which encrypts all of your data and forces you to download Touhou 12 and get a high score of 200 million on Lunatic difficulty to decrypt your files.

Ramnit!

Does anyone remember rampage tools for hacking during the winXP days?

I can't beat a regular-ass shmup on easy difficulty.

Well, there was the whole thing Sergeant Mk. IV did that would crash your computer and quite possibly fry it in Brutal Doom Extermination Day by spawning billions of broken panes of glass when you booted it with Project Brutality.

Oh, and this fucking thing:

 

[KaiserMk7]

Wouldn't it be funny if someone deliberately ran an old piece of malware for a few laughs and the site they downloaded it from actually served them much worse malware disguised as the old piece because they don't do any upload moderation or hash checks?

Garena. Gotta love it when my pc is suspiciously struggling to run a game that a potato can normally run just fine.
