[[File:Hikaru.png|thumb|155x155px|The hikaru.exe program icon.]]''hikaru.exe'', mostly known as the ''Ghost virus'' or the ''Sadako virus'' in Japan, is a japanese [[screamer|''screamer'']] joke application. It is a variant of the ''Win32.Joke_Ghost'' joke program. If the player 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 to [[McDonalds.exe]], but not the same with a scream sound effect. It quickly spread over the Internet in Japan in the early 2000s, like [[McDonalds.exe]]. However, it didn't become as popular as its cousin. Some have complained that even when restarting the computer, the [[screamer]] will continue to pop up normally. | {{Malicious Scripts}}[[File:Hikaru.png|thumb|155x155px|The hikaru.exe program icon.]]''hikaru.exe'', mostly known as the ''Ghost virus'' or the ''Sadako virus'' in Japan, is a japanese [[screamer|''screamer'']] joke application.
