The desktop background changes to various creepy pictures and glitchy effects, accompanied by [https://youtu.be/6WyH5E8Xs0c Thresh's Theme] from ''[[wikipedia:League of Legends|League of Legends]]''. The malware also changes the default cursor to a bloody cursor, and when hovering over certain assets, it changes to an eyeball cursor.

=== Peaceful Version===
The Peaceful version of the software differs from the Destructive version in two ways. First, after the Phantom Balloon Boy jumpscare and fake RSoD, the application simply closes instead of triggering a BSoD and overwriting the MBR.
