Not like valve bans cheaters anyway.

Woke up this morning to a sudden realization: what if VAC decides that elkie is a cheat?

Hmm, anyone willing to make this an actual thing? If so, then maybe we could send it over to danooct1 on YouTube so he can play- I meant, so SHE can play with him a bit?

@Badumsquish  
This will end in NICE VIRTUAL BOAT!!!
 
… Yes… “virtual”…

@Dirty Bit  
I use Malwarebytes and Comodo Firewall. Both ar free and, before one of the computer savvy folks goes off why they’re terrible (:P) I’ve never had any issues with them. I do a scan once a month with Malwarebytes and only rarely find something minor.

Tempting, but no. I love my computer, and I can’t bring myself to destroy such an adorable virus, let alone keep it around to destroy my stuff. Big no-no.
 
@DanielTepesKraus  

 
I got Avast. I think I’m good.
 
@ArmadilloEater
 
Very cute.

memz trojan in pony form.

@Badumsquish  
I will physically remove any wireless adapter. Then she won’t have anywhere to go. …‘Course, couple ‘a days with me, she’ll be begging to leave anyways. I’m rather boring.

Disconnect from internet. Get a new pc. Congrats you know have a pet virus. (On your old pc that you can’t use for anything else.)

@Solitude  
Just need to hope she can’t figure out how to turn bluetooth or wifi on and invade anything else. Or mimic a “virus deleted” screen, or pretend to be an incoming call from your mother, etc etc. That poem in the description ain’t bluffing; she’ll stick to you like a tiny ex-girlfriend XD
 
@ArmadilloEater  
@SuperSupermario24  
She’s trying to “coax” it away from the delete button, but you could overwhelm her little viral arms by moving it around, as she hangs on spamming more alert boxes to hide the delete button XD
 
@Zebasiz  
She was programmed to think such things are “helpful” in order to make her more innocently malicious XD

@ArmadilloEater  
oh god no that’s too cute
 
 
@SuperSupermario24  
that has to be a screencap of a windows destruction vid

@Zebasiz  

@Badumsquish  
“putting “helpful” toolbars on your browser in a genuine attempt to help, etc etc.”
 
“I’m helping!” =D  

 
 
@ArmadilloEater  
I did not realize this. That is, indeed, Super adorable~

@ArmadilloEater  
Oh man. I didn’t even notice that. That’s adorable.

@Badumsquish  
Welp. Time to unplug that one from the net and get a new one. I ain’t about to let a virus run roughshod but I ain’t one for just killing either. Who knows, maybe when she realizes her behavior has a detrimental effect on her home she might be more careful.

@Badumsquish  
I don’t know how many people realized that she is holding the mouse cursor in her hoofsies, I think that’s the cutest part of the picture.

@ArmadilloEater  
That many error messages is a normal day for me on my computer XD
 
@Keith Mowz  
She could eat them XD. She eats data for nourishment.
 
@Pagan  
Viruses are tricky to get rid of though. I mean, trying to (let’s be honest here) kill her might piss her off…
 
@Fighterpilot555  
:P
 
@Conman17  
She might get on both though and now you have two of her to worry about XD
 
@Zebasiz  
It makes the Windows default beep noise when you do.
 
@PegaSUS  
Both XD
 
@ShimmeringStallion  
Careful or she might go yandere over protecting his computer for him XD
 
@ArmadilloEater  
It sort of was. I knew the layout was going to change but I didn’t think it was going to for like another week or so.
 
@RighteousIndignayshun  
She’s a virus. It’s in her nature to make weird things happen :P
 
@Solitude  
I’m going to say “hopefully” at best. Like on one hand she’s sentient and can think for herself, but on the other hand she is a virus so it’s in her nature (programming I guess) to do bad stuff, she eats memory and data, things like that. Also you can hear her speak through your speakers, but those alert boxes appear with what she’s saying in them every single time.
 
And she might still do “bad” even when she’s trying to be good. She’s a running program so she drains system resources just by being there, her skewed virus way of thinking might make her start putting “helpful” toolbars on your browser in a genuine attempt to help, etc etc.

Alright, settle a bet: is she gonna behave for realzies or not?

@RighteousIndignayshun  
Because it’s an iPad.

I think I’d throw my tablet across the room if this happened on it.
 
I mean, how the heck do Windows-style messages pop up on an iPad?

@DanielTepesKraus  
Pic is uploaded, one day later old site goes down.  

Aww… Sorry, if I let you stay, I’ll have to let all the other virus-pones stay.
 
… Though it would be pretty cute if she actually threatened other websites and viruses to stay away from the user…

Should there be an “old layout” tag?

@DanielTepesKraus  
Kek

@RIG  
yes, she got into the site via this picture, and the staff were so busy scratching her belly with the cursor we didn’t realize she was eating all the javascript, deleting every picture that didn’t have “bazinga” in the description, sending The Smiling Pony endless reports via pm to inform him about his nigerian uncle who passed away, hijacking Joey’s account to make new badges, and slipping fluttershy into my favorites list, so we imprisoned her in the old site saved on my old commodore 64. that’ll learn her.
