Windows Movie Maker

I wrote this a few months ago in a prayer meeting.  I know.  Very holy of me.

Windows Movie Maker [C:Program FilesMovie MakerMOVIEMK.exe] is a highly virulent productivity virus.  Not only effecting the computer it is hosted on, but having a socially engineered payload which self-propagates through USB sticks, video/data projectors, and various presentation media.

Reports have come in of this virus’ unique capability to be transmitted through analogue forms such as VHS tape, and occasionally film.

Symptoms:

• Audience hypnotism
• Hours of time wasted by ‘editor’ and ‘viewers’
• Computer lock-ups and data-loss
• Lowered expectations of quality
• Copyright infringement
• Physical injury
• Death

Response Actions:

• CTRL-ALT-DEL
