Prank update

Introduction

This page allows you to "fake a system update", it's the perfect way to prank your friends, family members or colleagues. Especially when they're working on something rather important. While they are away from their PC simply navigate to this page, click on one of the appropriate themes below and go fullscreen. Once they arrive back at their personal computer they will almost certainly start to freak out. You decide how long you want to let them suffer in frustration before telling them it's just a prank website.

Tips for Windows: Press F11 to maximize the browser window for full immersion. (You can press F11 again to exit fullscreen mode). Press ENTER or spacebar for a bluescreen of death. (This will really get them worried). Try to keep a straight face the entire time. (hold your laugh!)

Another prank using VBScript on Windows

On your computer's friend desktop, right click and create a new text document. Copy and paste the following code and save it as prank.vbs
Make sure to use the .vbs extension instead of .txt, which is the one by default. Once your friend opens the file, he is good for a reboot unless he knows how to use the Windows task manager.

msgbox "I got you"
