- TOP TEN VIRUSES THAT AFFECT COMPUTERS ON DR. WHO
-
- 10. The "Adric" Virus: Only present if computer has a math
- co-processor. Appears when computer is used to do advanced calculations.
- Whines a lot. Similar to both the "Wesley" and the "Perpugilliam Brown"
- viruses (which see). Can be removed from the system should the computer
- ever "crash".
-
- 9. The "Perpugilliam Brown (Peri)" Virus: Makes computer whine through
- speaker or sound card about how it doesn't want to do anything, that
- application is too dangerous, and so on. Can be stopped temporarily by
- running Windows '95 and waiting for system to "choke up," but a permanent
- cure can only be accomplished by removing the CPU and "transplanting" it
- to another "alien" computer.
-
- 8. The "Melanie Bush" virus: produces continuous shrieking sounds
- through speaker, and urges user to exercise. Can be cured by spilling
- carrot juice over keyboard, or by giving the virus to someone else on the
- pretext of having the virus keep the victim "honest."
-
- 7. The "Ace" virus: If angered, your computer blows up! However, since
- it also protects the computer form any other viruses, many users have
- decided to keep it around. Cure: shatter the virus' faith in the user,
- and it will go away, but see recommendation.
-
- 6. The "Dalek" Virus: Exterminates your hard drive. Cure: Introduce
- the "Thal" virus: the two will cancel each other out leaving the system
- free of both Daleks and Thals.
-
- 5. The "Cyberman" virus: Similar to the Borg virus, it is extremely
- logical and converts al your data into copies of itself. Cure: blow
- gold dust into computer through air vents.
-
- 4. The "Doctor" virus: comes in 7 or 8 variations, all different, some
- more irritating than others. See notes on the Ace virus. Cure: call
- the BBC for their special "anti-Doctor" virus cleaner called Michael
- Grade.
-
- 3. The "TARDIS" virus: appears deceptively small at first glance, but
- rapidly expands to become larger than your entire hard drive, *no matter
- how many "gigaquads" you may have.* Has been known to revive a destroyed
- copy of the "Doctor" virus. Cure: Run "Time Ram" virus cleaner.
-
- 2. The "Sontaran" virus: clones itself all over the place. Cure: get
- a copy of the Rutan virus (see Daleks and Thals above, or run either the
- "Demat Gun" or "Probic-Vent" virus cleaners.
-
- AND THE NUMBER ONE VIRUS AFFECTING COMPUTERS ON DOCTOR WHO IS...
-
- 1. The dreaded "BBC" virus: removes all data from your system, then
- claims your data is merely on "hiatus." It is unknown at this time
- whether the BBC will ever willingly restore your data to you. Rumor has
- it that if this ever occurs, your data will be in a new and possibly
- strange, unrecognizable format. No known cure exists for the BBC virus,
- with the possible exception of the "Amblin" cleaner program, although
- this may have a similar effect on your programs.
