McDonalds.exe: Difference between revisions

{{Malicious Scripts}}__NOTOC__''McDonalds.exe'', also known as ''Mc.exe'', is a [[screamer]] program that was spread across the Internet in the early 2000's. It was created in September 2000, in China. The program icon is the McDonald's logo on a red background. Even though one would think otherwise, this has nothing to do with the McDonald's fast food franchise.

A few seconds later, the text disappears and the screen returns to its original state. Shorty after, a dialog window appears with some Chinese text, an e-mail address ''(xu_yyfy@yeah.net)'' and a phone number. After a short delay from when the user closes the window, a black and white picture of a girl with no eyes will pop up along with a short scream. The image will continue to be displayed at two-minute intervals, until the process is terminated in Task Manager.
