Diagnosis

A rather 'humorous' joke. Upon booting it displays a "Please wait -- Initializing" box. It then displays the contents of your windows folder, it then asks you whether you want to delete your files but no matter how you respond it will look like your files are being deleted. It then displays a shutdown dialog and blacks out the screen and a warning comes up saying no systems files can be found. Just after this happens an advertisment for a computer game flashes up (Virus) and you realise it was one big prank! Totally harmless but could give some users a heart attack!
