Virus Info Joker is an overwriting file-infector virus. When it infects a file, Joker replaces the original with itself instead of moving the original information. This replacement makes removal difficult to impossible. Joker randomly displays joke error messages.

Sample messages displayed are:

You have water in your co-processor

Hard drive has been destroyed
