==~~Preview~~==

If the user runs it, it doesn't seem to do anything. However, it silently becomes present in the operating computer's memory. and triggers a payload at random times, which shows a full-screen picture of [[wikipedia:Teke Teke|Teke Teke]], similar but not the same as [[McDonalds.exe]], with a scream sound effect. It quickly spread over the Internet in Japan in the early 2000s. However, it didn't become as popular as its cousin. Some have complained that even when resetting the computer. However, the application will later continue its usual behavior.

[[Category:Applications]]

==Trivia==

* Just like [[Madoka.exe]], According to the decompiled source code, holding down F10 when double clicking the original EXE will cause the malware to decompile itself and unpack all the assets and codes. However, this behavior is tested not working on a WinXP virtual machine.
