'''Strimage.exe''' was a [[screamer]] program that became popular in China around 2005. The program is written in VB6 and has an icon that looks like a folder in the Win9X style, which tricks the user into thinking that it is a normal folder. When executed, the program copies itself to several system directories, deletes the original file, and sets itself to be the default application for opening JPEG files. Thus, each time a user double-clicks on a JPEG file, the program will be called to run. The program checks the date on the local computer and if it is not Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the program will terminate itself. However, if the date is one of these days, the screamer will begin a countdown for a random amount of time between 5 and 15 minutes in the background.


It has an icon of the folder in Win9X style, attempts to make the user think it's a normal folder and run it. When executed, it seems that nothing happened. However, the program has already copied itself to several system directories, deleted the original file, and set itself to the default application for opening JPEG files. So each time the user double click on a JPEG file, the program will be called to run, Then, the program will check the date on the local computer. If the date is not Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the program will terminate itself. Otherwise, the screamer will begin the countdown for a random amount of time between 5 minutes and 15 minutes in the background.
After the countdown, the main payload of the program is displayed, which is a ghostly girl with half of her face being a skeleton. The eyeball on the other half can move and a crying sound effect is played. Clicking anywhere will exit the screamer. It can be found in the source code that the project was initially named "StarField" and the caption of the screamer window is also the same. The code contains a "Type" class named "Star" that features "X, Y, Speed, Size," and "Color."

Strimage.exe was a screamer program that became popular in China around 2005. The program is written in VB6 and has an icon that looks like a folder in the Win9X style, which tricks the user into thinking that it is a normal folder. When executed, the program copies itself to several system directories, deletes the original file, and sets itself to be the default application for opening JPEG files. Thus, each time a user double-clicks on a JPEG file, the program will be called to run. The program checks the date on the local computer and if it is not Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the program will terminate itself. However, if the date is one of these days, the screamer will begin a countdown for a random amount of time between 5 and 15 minutes in the background.

After the countdown, the main payload of the program is displayed, which is a ghostly girl with half of her face being a skeleton. The eyeball on the other half can move and a crying sound effect is played. Clicking anywhere will exit the screamer. It can be found in the source code that the project was initially named "StarField" and the caption of the screamer window is also the same. The code contains a "Type" class named "Star" that features "X, Y, Speed, Size," and "Color." It appears that the author was initially planning to write a screensaver or some sort of visual program.
