As you may or may not know, Microsoft announced that after 12 years, support for a common variant of the Windows Operating System, known as Windows XP, ended on April 8, 2014. This means that any Windows XP user would stop receiving updates for the OS that would prevent viruses from taking over. This means that your chances of obtaining a virus were really high.

I'm unfortunate to the point that I can't afford to upgrade to Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 10. Every penny counts for me. The only computer I have, you guessed it, runs Windows XP. I was browsing around at around 2:52 AM for something to do online (I don't feel tired while in the process of doing anything while sitting down). I was looking to play a free online multiplayer game known as ROBLOX, and as I was proceeding to the website, I must've clicked on something by accident. Coincidentally, it downloaded an application titled "ROBLOX.exe" and automatically opened when it finished downloading. It was your basic installation wizard, and being my first time playing this game, I didn't know if it was legit. But since I was looking to play the game before it downloaded it, I assumed it was and clicked the "Next" button. It was just taking me through the installation process like normal installation wizards would. Or at least it seemed normal. I noticed a folder that I did not know existed until now. It was labeled "PERSONALINFSENDER" and it was indeed in all capital letters. I was going to check it out, but big flashy ROBLOX letters appeared and I continued to try and play. However, the game wouldn't load, so I decided to just play a game known as Minecraft, which I preferred anyways.

It was a while since I actually checked the computer because I was quite busy for a few months. I start it up, and I noticed the wallpaper had changed to a frowning Anime/Manga character. I had not seen it before, and since I literally had nothing else to do, I tried looking for it. I couldn't find it in any of my common folders. Then, I tried looking in ROBLOX and MInecraft folders, but still I had no luck. Then it dawned on me that there was the "PERSONALINFSENDER" folder I had not checked. I opened the folder and saw the ".png" file titled "images.png". Nothing out of the ordinary so far. I was about to close it and go about doing other things when I noticed a ".txt" titled "text.txt". I didn't know what to expect when I opened it. To my surprise, it didn't just load the text file. It also loaded the Command Prompt. Text was moving very fast, and I'm not a computer expert or anything, so I didn't know what was going on. The ".txt" file contained a very large list of email addresses, including one of my best friend. I figured I'd call him to tell him the weird ".txt" I found, but my screen turned green. Then my computer shut down and all the electronics in the house also shut off and wouldn't come back on. Soon, it was just me in a dark room all by myself. There was NO way I was staying there. I called up my best friend, and he said it was fine if I stayed there for the night.

It contains the words, "ROBLOX", "Minecraft", and ".exe" but that's not the basis of the pasta. I'd like to be able to post this because I put a lot of work into this.
