My thread titles are awful.

You have created a computer virus that, somehow, works on all operating systems.

The virus causes no harm whatsoever to the computer or the owner; it doesn't steal passwords nor personal files, doesn't overload anything, computer won't blow up in the user's face, nothing like that.

However, its effect on the interface is annoying af to the user. What would the virus you created do?

Mine would turn Caps Lock on and off randomly as the user were typing.

So basically sheep.exe with cows instead of sheep and with less user control over what the sheep do and no way to turn them off?

Every time a user clicks on something inside any browser, on any website they're on, a popup will appear with a random dank meme. Adblock will not be able to disable it.

Have a nice day.

Backspace whenever the user strokes five keys or hits enter.

Hmm, let's see...

Every key pressed goes towards enabling sticky keys and you can't disable it once it's enabled. Now you're stuck with annoying beeps forever >:D

For all OSes, eh? Hmmmmm...

It would, at random and without warning, cycle through tabs or windows to another one and give focus to that. No matter what you are typing, or moving or dragging, it can always end up somewhere else. As a courtesy and display of still remaining humanity, my virus will skip windows without text input elements in them, so that what you are typing always ends up somewhere. Just not anywhere near where you expect it.


And yeah your titles suck :p

Also, what is "af"?

My face is now in all of your pictures. You're welcome.
...Even in the lolcat pics? That does cause harm to my heart~ :p

Also, do the same but for Youtube and now we're talking {XD}

In graphical operating systems, it would randomly cause the mouse to lock in one place for a few seconds to make the user think their mouse is broken (this is a really frustrating thing to happen, why not make it part of a joke virus)
Use a command line system or a server? No problem - the virus also replaces the command "CD" with a message saying that changing directories is not supported by the OS.

It'd make a pop-up box show up and play a Filthy Frank video.

I'd love it a lot tbh.

Currently playing Pokémon Blaze Black/SoulSilver
Next up are Pokemon LeafGreen, VoltWhite 2, probably X, then either US or UM.

That wouldn't be terribly hard - just start and stop the internet services at random intervals :P
It doesn't need to be difficult it just needs to be annoying. xD
