Some people claim that some Last Measure variants contain actual malware, though this claim is most likely false, as the script of the website doesn't download any malware on the viewer's device, and the site can be closed by using Task Manager or by resetting the affected computer. | Some people claim that some Last Measure variants contain actual malware, though this claim is most likely false, as the script of the website doesn't download any malware on the viewer's device, and the site can be closed by using Task Manager or by resetting the affected computer.

A few versions use a script called 'StatsMeasure,' which leaks the visitor's clipboard data online. Later versions of the Last Measure used a Java applet called 'CoffeeMeasure' which spawns several Java application windows that move around the screen. The Unified X version of Last Measure contains a montage of shock images, including images from [[The Pain Series]] and other images from various shock sites. Additionally, an external link to a mirror was added to the [[Offended]] page on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. | A few versions use a script called 'StatsMeasure,' which leaks the visitor's clipboard data online.
