Scary (DOS Trojan)

Scary DOS Trojan

Scary is a screamer Trojan application written for DOS computers or probably a fan-made video made by the YouTube user danooct1. When opened, it displays an image of a half-dead woman called The Haunted House from the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, a franchise of three children's books from 1981 to 1991 by Alvin Schwartz, and the picture made by illustrator Stephen Gammell. When doing so, the virus silently wipes the hard drive, causing the computer to stop booting. It does not apply to computers which are not MS-DOS devices or MS-DOS Sub-Systems, so users who don't have one, you shouldn't worry about it.
