I’m like if a girl had OneHalf installed on her Master Boot Record..
#blue chatter#Functionally very similar but Something’s going on in there that u can’t see#OneHalf is a computer virus which infected .exe files of MS-DOS computers#It wrote a decryption key to the master boot record#as well as instructions to encrypt the last two unencrypted sectors of the hard disk upon startup#it was found in the wild in 1994#removing OneHalf without a specialized tool completely bricked your computer depending on how long you had it#bc if you attempted to install a clean copy of the MBR without carefully decrypting your encrypted data first#there’d be no way to unencrypt your files and you’d be screwed
