not-virus:Joke.Win32.Errore

Description not-virus:Joke.Win32.Errore

This "bad joke" simulates the Windows format functionality.
When it is executed, it displays several fake "error messages" such as:
Errore interno di Windows 345 all'indirizzo 4E6F:942A

Errore interno di Windows 712 all'indirizzo 7ED5:89C2

Then it displays a dialogue box asking about formatting the C: drive:
Sei veramente sicuro di voler formattare l'hard disk?
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]
Independent of the button being pressed, the program simulates a drive formatting window. The user is unable to stop, interrupt, or cancel this "format." Once the fake formatting has been completed, the standard Windows format summary appears. Then the program displays garbage data on the screen, some more messages, and finally exits.

Once the program is run, no matter which buttons are chosen, Fake Format starts to format the drive. The user is unable to stop, interrupt, or cancel this format. Once the fake formatting has been completed, the standard Windows format summary appears. Once the user has closed this summary screen, the button actually closes the program.
