'''hikaru.exe''', or known as '''Sadako virus''' in Japan, was a ~~japanese ''~~[[screamer]]~~'' joke application created by shizuka~~. It is a variant of the ''Win32.~~Joke_Ghost'' joke program~~.

'''hikaru.exe''', alse known as the '''Sadako virus''' in Japan, was a Taiwanese [[screamer]] [[program]]. It is a variant of the Win32/FlaGhost malware. The original author is Qiwen Lin (林啟文) and it was written in the [[wikipedia:Hot_Soup_Processor|Hot Soup Processor]] programming language.

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 ~~a ghost girl~~, 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 ~~restarting~~ the computer, the application will ~~still~~ continue its usual behavior

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.

The most recent version of this virus is "0.4" from November 6th, 2001.

==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.

~~The recent version of this virus is: "4.0v"~~
