Shockmemes have become a big deal in hacking circles recently, and whether its catching out priests with Meatspin or leaving a nice surprise on phished Myspace pages, everybody wants a piece of the action. Well, the use of Shockmemes in hacking and cracking circles takes another plunge into the world of bleeding eyeballs and crying children the World over with this latest infection. Currently doing the rounds on the “Let’s ruin your day” circuit, this bundle of joy (once run by the unsuspecting Windows end-user) will make your previously beautiful and clutter free desktop….

Oh my, is that 40+ copies of Lemonparty on your desktop? I think it is.
In addition to your new favourite desktop image, you’ll find that the author of this file wants you to see more of Lemonparty.

Whoops.
Your entire PC has been taken over by endless respawning images of three old guys having the best time of their lives in a hotel room. If you reboot the PC, they’ll come straight back.

Even trying to get screenshots of the files involved was nearly impossible due to the images insistence on hogging every square inch of your monitors real estate. As a matter of fact, when I asked my colleague to grab a shot of the file responsible for bringing the desktop hijacks back to life each time what should pop up but…
This is one party you just can’t stop.
We detect this as LemonLover. And this is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever written about.
