i had a nightmare last night that my desktop got infected by a malware bomb that added shit like CometCursor and desktop customization adware and there was so much of it it started overheating, and the EFI firmware was giving warnings about unsigned firmware images

@shaderphantom okay how bout this: virus that does a scan, deletes other malware and viruses and then itself

@noiob i've heard about this though that's a real thing

@shaderphantom honestly software fighting software is a super cool thing
