    OS on the machine is still hopelessly constipated, so it was decided to reinstall it. While burning a disk with Windows, I decided to climb the virus, look for interesting things. The first link was a license agreement for this very virus. Scrolling to paragraph 6.1:

    “If for any reason the Program or its modules did not meet the expectations of the User, the User should stop using the Program by entering the following data into the form: nine hundred twenty eight million six hundred eighty four thousand six hundred forty six. The program and all additional modules will stop their work and will be completely removed from the user's computer. ”

    Here is such an interesting little fad :-) Well, the attempt is not torture - we try to enter these numbers in the field: 928684646. The “Analysis ...” timer starts, which for several minutes methodically counts the numbers until the end of this procedure. I really even hoped for the integrity of virus writers, but no, figuras - "The code is wrong." I tried to enter again, similarly.

    I recalled the old Easter egg in EULA, when a company held a rally: in one of the clauses of the agreement it was written something like "for reading the agreement, call this number and get a certain amount of US dollars." There were only a few people who called, if not just one person, I don’t remember already.

    I still hope that scammers try to dodge responsibility in every possible way and leave a legal way to close the program without the help of third-party programs. Although it is possible that this code does not work, it’s just “for show” written in the text. Now I will try different options, the problem is that the "analysis" of the code lasts about five minutes.

    UPD
    After the reboot, the code in the license agreement changes, but still does not fit.
    A universal master key was found on the first Google link .
