Computer Viruses
1. That does not only work on Windows Hello everyone, I found a 100% guaranteed way to ensure you are safe from viruses, and other kinds of malware. It's really easy to do.
It only works on windows, sorry.
All you have to do is uninstall your network drivers.
2. Viruses can be transmitted other ways
Lol viruses cannot be effective without a network connection. Sure they can delete your Sys32, but no realistic virus writer would waste time doing a destructive prank. The biggest incentive of malicious programmers is money and passwords.

Use task manager to close it and (maybe use anti-virus software for this) remove the file that caused this. If the files are encrypted already, then that's no good. Turned on my computer and saw this…
Ransomware is not good.
I read about the WannaCry ransomware attack which happened last month. Thank life I wasn't attacked. (I rarely read my emails.)

Probably because it's a visual basic application I made that does nothing bad at all. That does not look like a valid Bitcoin address…
I spent quite a few days making that.
I'm probably going to get an alert for this

I made a virus that just opens up www.google.com over and over again and causes extreme lag. It doesn't really do anything because it just keeps opening Google until you close it, your computer crashes, or you restart or turn off your computer. The virus is called “Google Maze” and every time it opens Google it says “You're gonna need a Google Map for this one.” Lame, but it was fun to make.
I made it like this because it's a Flash virus (not much you can do with those) and also because I wanted to easily test it.
Also I'm not mean.
