'''Anne.jpg''' was a [[screamer]] webpage. The purpose of it was to mislead the user, disguising itself as a .jpg file. It was originally located on the website [[Akk.li|akk.li]] as a file directory, created by Xenox somewhere between 2011-2012. | '''Anne.jpg''' was a [[screamer]] webpage.

The content of the website was a flashing picture of [[Jeff the Killer]], accompanied by an extremely loud, distorted noise. The image quickly zoomed in, and then flashed repeatedly from regular to negative colours. The original page also contained text stating "This site will not harm your computer and doesn't contain any malware!", with a link to the creator's facebook page. The site was visited 27,5 million times before closing. The website shortly turned into a redirect to [http://savetheinternet.info savetheinternet.info], but today, the site simply shows a 404 error. | The content of the website was a flashing picture of [[Jeff the Killer]], accompanied by an extremely loud, distorted noise.

In late 2014, the domain [[Agor.io]] was registered. It was the most popular one due to the fact that many people were prone to misspelling the first "a" and replacing it with an "o" instead. The website also included a malicious script that prevented the user from closing the site by displaying the alert message: "U SCARED BRO LOL". The website especially grew popular on Reddit. This post in particular was supposedly written by a parent whose child had an epileptic seizure trying to play Agar.io but misspelled it as Agor.io instead. The mother was attempting to file a lawsuit against the owner of the website, revealed to be Preston Kellenberger, living in Sardinia, Ohio.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20190821192018/https://screamer.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:6068</ref> Agor.io now redirects to a 404 page. | In late 2014, the domain [[Agor.io]] was registered.
