Scare Your Parents!

Did your parents just buy you a new computer that they would be very angry if it was ruined? Or are your parents just computer nuts who don't want an easily removed virus to touch their computer? Well, it's time to freak them out.

What I'm doing is giving Internet Explorer, or preferably FireFox, to tell your parents that you're infected with a virus:

Copy and paste this into your url browser exactly, lol!

CODE

java script:alert('Error 2214- Your computer has been infected with a trojan horse virus) ');

Simple and effective! Note there is no space between java and script.
BTW i found an almost EXACT thread at http://www.sythe.org/archive/index.php/t-149569.html?
plagiarism?

Doesn't work for me though. In firefox it just takes me to the google page for search results. Probably a good thing, right? I didn't bother to test it in Iexplorer, though.

haha, lol, makes me remind of an old application that could create custom error messages (like the ones windows 9x used to give quite often

). So funny, it could even be operated over a network

lol except ummm... hows it gonna scare your parents? while they are on the computer, just go and interrupt them and type that in and all of a sudden theres a virus? dont think so...

for people that say it doesnt work, remove the space between java script, like this
java script:alert('Error 2214- Your computer has been infected with a trojan horse virus) ');

Hey,

You *could* try to set it as the start page, that might work...

(EDIT: IE 6 closes the browser if you do this, Safari refuses to do it, works in Opera and Firefox)

My parents use Macs they know that Macs hardly ever get viruses. This doesn't work on my browser I just get a 404 page not found. If you really want to freak your parents out (and you have a windows boot CD) you could just move an essential boot file then it won’t even start until you repair your system... Probably shouldn't try this (unless you know exactly which file to move) as it may be un-fixable.
Also Onthescreen is right. If you did copy this thread you should put it in quotes. Not fair to get credit for something you didn't type (unless you are the same as: Redemption on the other forum).

Thanks

It works in Mozilla Firefox (and related Mozilla-based browsers), haven't tried it in any other browsers yet. It's a simple piece of JavaScript, you can even make a simple HTML page and run it on the computer like this:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Error!</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function virusAlert()
{
alert('Error 2214 - Your computer has been infected with a trojan horse virus) ');
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="virusAlert()">
</body>
</html>

Put it as their home page or something if you wish.
