Okay, I was looking up some Internet Phenomenons on Wikipedia, and I stumbled on to the O RLY owl page.

This guy has a weird sense of humor.

Does anyone know of any other strange viruses?

I was kinda making something like that with Game Maker. It shows a sheep dancing around saying "YOU CANT CLOSE THIS PROGRAM!" I really need to find a way to get around Ctrl+Alt+Del though...

O RLY, THAT'S A VIRUS?

I don't know of any other "funny" viruses.

Well, how about viruses you've had? One time we got one that displayed the BSOD whenever we turned the thing on! We had to re-format it and we lost all of our data.

dunno if it was a virus or not but something created a file that was like 65gb on our hdd once, kept crashing and lagging becasue this file was taking up almost all our free hdd space, deleted it and no problems.

Heh, I've been trying to get Linux but I haven't been able to find it.

We got spyware that would display a command prompt that says "You have spyware!" And when you close it, 4 more pop up, then after you close those, it reverts to the Black screen of death.

How about a virus in the form of a blank JPEG image, labelled xp(1) ? I've had that pop up a few times, luckily AVG blocks it.

One time at my friends we turned on his computer and we got a litte face that looked like this:

when ever you pushed any key it would shoot around the screen and then
stop back where it was. He sent it to a friend to fix the nextday so I never
found out what it was.
