    Had a fun experience in the back then times that my father’s computer became infected with one of those nineties style “funny guy” viruses. You know the ones, the ones that seem less interested in stealing money and doing damage and more interested in just fucking with you.

    Of note:

    • if you tried to open Mozilla Firefox it’d autokill it and pop a message saying “use IE or else”
    • if you tried loading up Orkut (look, we were Brazilians in the early aughts. We all used Orkut) it’d kill your browser saying orkut was banned from that PC
    • it’d occasionally pop up messages with rude text seemingly at random
