Aaron Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 LOL, don't worry about it, its a piece of ActiveX showing the contents of your hard drive, only you can see it and nobody else can. Its one of the most convincing pranks on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babis Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 yup yup.. big_AL_99 a few codes of line can do a lotta things... heck back when I was still a teenager I made a site with some fake scripts..01. Write Formating harddrive in status bar (count 0-100%, then display your comp is formatted)02. inform user they have been nuked with babis' virus and need to contact me or else. A window pops asks click ok to contact me or something like that.. but it actually just closes IE....well those were some good days..then ofcourse the usual pranks with software...(upside down windows, remove all icons/etc.. and leave a screenshot with the stuff, re-point a software, startup and eject cd-rom....etc.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dragons Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Gotta show my age here - but back in the day ( DOS ) you could find all kinds of autoexec.bat pranks - naked pictures - unauthorized access - a big blank screen that looks like a dead puter etc. We used to pull the same tricks over and over on this guy and he never seemed to figure it out. What fun!LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
