McDonalds.exe

Template:Malicious Scripts

McDonalds.exe, also known as Mc.exe, is a screamer program that was spread across the Internet in the early 2000s. 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.

When the user launches the program, the screen turns black and some green Chinese text appears, which is a horror story. A few seconds later, the text disappears and the screen returns to its original state. Shortly 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.

I'm a gastronome and I love to eat various kinds of delicacies.

I can eat things that others aren't daring to eat at all without hesitation.

One day, a person said to me:

"There is one thing that you haven't been tried, and I dare you to try it."

I answered back with recalcitration: "Tell me now! There is nothing that I'm afraid!"

"Human flesh! Have you tried it?" He said.

I have no words to tell. Of course, neither I have tried human flesh nor I know where I can get it.

In the evening, I'm using my computer and my wife sits beside me.

Then I discovered that her skin was so bright and smooth.

I asked her if she would like to use the computer.

She accepted tenderly.

When I thought there is the chance, I picked up the cable of mouse suddenly----

I watched her struggling, without any mercy.

After around 20 minutes, she stopped struggling finally. I began to----

........

Finally, I reached my wish. But everyday I cannot sleep well and always dreaming about her.

About her spirit beside my bed

with a pale face and a scar on the neck, she reached me with lips closed.

I know I should cremate my self, just like a corpse from deadly diseases,

and pour my bone ash along the street for people to step on. Only then could I atone for a tiny bit of my crime.

Is that story scary, dude?

It is a part of a horror story.

I'm wronged if you think that person is me. :)
