Hey... this is the virus author. I can't believe this got so much attention for a senior prank! My school flipped out and hired a guy from sophos for like $300 an hour, and all he did was follow my removal instructions after trying to remove it a few times and failing. I had a program looking for the other program, and when it was deleted it would just recopy it back again on login, so they think its fixed until someone else logs in next!I actually didn't even get in trouble for this, and ended up going to college with no reprecussions >_> They did catch me though, because I sent an email from California while it was going down and I was dumb and they got a subpoena from Yahoo to find out the source of the email... D:Anyways thanks for all the kind comments, I've been out of the net for quite a while and it's nice to come back to see all these people having a good time laughing at something I did :p

Somebody already updated the Wiki article with this virus. Let's see Brittanica stay that up-to-date.
