Phil Swift Hydra

A virus that turns Phil Swift into a hydra. In other words, there's a photo of phil swift on your desktop, and every time you delete it, it multiplies. There are two versions, a visual basic version, and an executable (.exe). The visual basic has multiple photos of Phil Swift, while the executable has one (for now) but is easier to use.

Instructions for executable

  1. To use on current user, just run the file normally and it should copy itself to the startup folder and run automatically
  2. To use on different user, put the file in their startup folder.

Notes:

  • The image used is stored at C:\ProgramData\Hydra once the program is run, feel free to change it!
  • When recompiling, delete both .exe's, compile hydra.ahk, then Installer.ahk
  • Current update/bug fix list:
    • Add more images to the executable version, randomly chosen from at runtime

Instructions for visual basic

  1. Put the phils folder in the startup folder (folder hidden, not contents)
  2. Put hydra.vbs on the desktop (hidden)
  3. Make shortcut to hydra.vbs in startup folder then hide hydra.vbs (not shortcut)
  4. Restart computer and enjoy!

Notes:

  • To get to startup folder, press windows + r, then type in "shell:startup" and press enter, alternatively, navigate to C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
  • To hide files, right click > properties > check "hidden"
  • To make a shortcut, right click > send to > desktop (create shortcut)
