''Windows XP Horror Edition'' is a [[screamer]] application created by a user WobbyChip, and was first given to Siam Alam to showcase and popularize the virus.
==Gameplay==
==Payload==
The application's icon is a Windows XP logo but in dark, red version, When the user launches the program, at which point a fake Windows XP update is installed, while the update is progressing, the user can hear some weird music playing in the background, After waiting, the update stops at 66% percent, and gives an error message: "''Setup cannot copy the file ntdll.dll set up will use file 666.Sys''", When the player clicks "OK", at which point everything turns into a dark, and eerie, the logo suddenly changes into an eye with a text besides it: "Don't Look Behind You." along with creepy music, the update continues to progress, However, the screen distorts as soon as the update completes, accompanied by an extremely, loud white noises, the screen goes back into a startup screen but with a skull displayed.  
Upon launch, the virus installs a false update for Windows XP, and plays the Windows XP installation music in the background. When the "update" is 66% complete, the music stops, and an error message appears on the screen, saying "Setup cannot copy the file ntdll.dll, Setup will use the file 666.sys." The music is replaced with a creepy chime soundtrack, the background turns red, and the Windows XP logo changes to an eye along with "Don't Look Behind You." When the "update" is 100% complete, the screen then shows what appears to be TV static, before turning black. The cursor is still visible.


After a few seconds, the computer's desktop is now changed, the background is now filled with skulls, the task bar is now red, the start button changes into an image of a hand with a text: "DEAD", the applications are now gone (although they were already deleted before the update screen appears for a split second) expect for the desktop icon, there is a note file in the upper right corner, opening the file leads to a message: "CONGRATULATION YOU OPENED ME, DO YOU WANNA PLAY A GAME, OKEY THEN LOOKED BEHIND YOU", After around 5 seconds, the screen suddenly changes into Granny crawling towards the viewer, followed by Game Over screen, if the player clicks the start button, the profile is shown, along with some blood spatter, when the player clicks it, which leads the screen changes into black and a door, clicking the door opens it, the text: "[[Jeff the Killer|<font color=" red">'''GO TO SLEEP'''</font>]]", then it returns back to the desktop after that, there is another note file labeled: "NOTHING" next to the desktop icon, which leads to a strange, and bizzare animation, it is called: "The Sad Man".
The screen stays black briefly, before showing a false Windows XP startup animation all in red, and with a skull in lieu of the logo.


If the player clicks on the Desktop icon, a message box appears: "DO YOU WANT TO TRASH YOUR COMPUTER FOREVER", if the player clicks OK, the computer itself moves in to the recycle bin, and a Red screen of Death appears, and the shows its error code 0x66666666, After a few seconds, the screen suddenly changes into an eye, with a text: "''I'M WATCHING YOU''" along with a creepy music playing the background, the computer is now completely unbootable because the MBR was overwritten causing windows to boot again.
The red background reappears, along with an eye next to the word "welcome." Logging in to Windows XP Horror Edition greets the user with a desktop wallpaper full of skulls, a red taskbar with the Start button labeled "DEAD," and four icons labeled, "My Computer," "NOTHING," "DON'T OPEN ME.txt" and "Recycle Bin." The background changes to creepy pictures and glitchy effects at certain points. Thresh's Theme from League of Legends plays in the background.'


Clicking the "DEAD" button opens the Start menu but in red and with "666" on the top bar. Clicking on the programs within the Start menu causes them to disappear. Clicking the icon on the top bar greets the user with a wooden door. After a few moments the door opens, along with a loud squeak sound. The user is jumpscared by a weird figure, before then being greeted with "GO TO SLEEP" written in blood on the screen.
Opening the "DON'T OPEN ME.txt" file opens a Notepad window with, "CONGRATULATION YOU OPENED ME, DO YOU WANNA PLAY A GAME, OKEY THEN LOOK BEHIND YOU." The screen then changes to a spider jumpscare, and then displays "Game Over." The Notepad icon then twitches and can't be opened again.
Opening "NOTHING" greets the user with a video and some violin background music.
At certain points, the background changes to a Half-Life 3 wallpaper, with a cartoon Bill Gates head. After a few moments the Nope.avi sound is played, before switching back to the desktop.
Opening the "My Computer" icon displays a message saying "DO YOU SERIOUSLY WANT TO TRASH YOUR COMPUTER FOREVER?" Clicking Yes will cause the My Computer icon to move to the Recycle Bin icon. The screen then turns black, before showing a Freddy Fazbear jumpscare, then showing a false BSOD which says "The problem seems to be caused by the following file 666.sys." The messages appear line by line several times, before the computer shows a real BSOD, and then reboots.
The last payload of the malware overwrites the MBR upon the next boot, and then displays an eye, along with "I'M WATCHING YOU" on the bottom.
Stopping it through Task Manager is impossible, as the malware disables its use upon launch.
To fix the overwritten MBR, run the Windows setup loader on the installation media, access the Command Prompt through Repair Your Computer, and then type the following commands: "bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /fixmbr"
The MBR can also be fixed through NeoSmart's Easy Recovery Essentials, a recovery/diagnostic tool that can be used to restore non-functioning computers.
