6.
Virus.Boot.Pingpong doesn't destroy anything, but it does turn your screen into a game of ping pong but only if you try to run files on the half hour seriously.
7.
"Mars Land," another one of Spanksa's viruses, shows a lovely lava flow with a nice message: Coding a virus can be creative.
8.
Markt DOS Virus looks scary--and it is: it formats your entire C drive.
9.
Ithaqua DOS Virus is just plain nice. Every April 29 it takes over your screen to show a gentle snowfall.
10.
Virus.DOS.Billiards turns your boring text into a colorful game of pool. Nice!
11.
Virus.DOS.HHnHH, a bouncing particle ball, wouldn't make a bad screensaver.
