    I have a folder of “pranks” like these from way back and they were harmless but sure enough they fire off modern anti virus software.

        I had one of those, but it was just called putting something on the calculator key.

      How about the one that launched a dialog box: “Do you have a small penis? Yes/No”, and if you moved your mouse near the “No” button, the button would run away around the screen?

      I remember with mobile phones you’d have an app that was called shave or something like that.

      It would play the sound of a shaving apparatus and you’d run your phone across your cheek pretending to shave
