Now is your time! This is the ‘90s! There’s no virus scanners, no firewalls, and no one thinks of website security! Come on, untitl~5.exe, do your thing!

My very first computer, back in the early 90’s, was Windows 3.0 desktop computer, I still have the 3 and a half inch floppy disks to install it with.
 
@Brass Melody  
There’s been a lot of things going on between Microsoft and Windows 10, that I think I finally may have completely taken Microsoft out of my picture. My gaming desktop computer and my laptops no longer run Windows 10.  
Too many issues with windows updates no working correctly, updates failing and the computer failing to start back up again, tons of privacy issues…  
My laptop is running Ubuntu 19.10 and my desktop OpenSuSE Linux.

@Brass Melody  
Update: I did a fresh install of Win 10 and now I’m back on the update cycle. Woo.

@JP  
You’re making me miss Windows 3.11 for Workgroups now. These images made me realized that I’ve never used a Windows 3.0 system.

@Ping_chan  
I just bit the bullet and updated to Windows 10 early on. Now I’m on a separate computer that came with Win 10 and I haven’t been able to install any cumulative updates since March. Best reason I found as to why this is was that any system with Japanese Kanji installed had similar issues.

@Ping_chan  
No kidding, my computer’s firewall blocked that as a “malicious unwanted download” XD

@Badumsquish  
Mandatory Updating, reminds me of the people who held onto Windows 7,but kept getting pop-ups for Windows 10,and for as long as they kept avoiding the update to 10, finally they would come home to a computer that automatically updated itself to 10. :p

@Ping_chan  
I’m not a big fan of stuff like that either. First thing I did when I was made to jump to Windows 10 was install software that blocks, disables, and removes all traces of Cortana. It’s called Winaero Tweaker and I can’t recommend it enough. That, coupled with Classic Shell (Makes Windows 10 look and act like Windows 7) and Windows Update Blocker (Blocks 10’s intrusive mandatory updating so I can update when I want instead) and Windows 10 becomes pretty user-friendly :D

@JP  
I personally prefer a OS that’s more straight forward, like Windows 2k or Windows 7.  
But that’s mostly because I would only use a Microsoft OS to run games and that’s it.  
I don’t need a AI like Cortana to help me play a game, I just want what’s needed to run the game, no other bells and whistles.  
MSDOS was awesome to run games back in the late 80s and early 90s,  
If you got the config.sys and stuff setup just right your system has very low overhead and you have all of the resources all for your game.  
I miss it when computers were simple.  
God I’m old. :p

@Da5ch  
Same here.

@Da5ch  
:D

Cutest virus ever! The fact that she’s harmless helps me to get over my irrational phobia of malware destroying all my drawings and games.
 
I’d boot up Windows 3.11 in DOSbox to see this cutie myself.

@Dirty Bit  
As much as I love modern-day computers and all they can do, I really do kind of like that old-school aesthetic where everything is square and blocky :D

The background’s making me feel like I’m in elementary school again…

@Napsack  
It’s not easy being a low-resolution virus XD
 
@JP  
I honestly wouldn’t know the difference; I just used the 3.1 tag because it already existed on the site. It’s insane though how you can literally run such a thing inside a web browser nowadays XD
 
@genervt  
It’s probably a good thing she’s literally harmless XD

I cannot say no to such a nice virus.

whats that? you want to show me how to fix my pc?  
and all I have to do is enter syskey into here…. ok ^-

Deletes ‘Computer’  
Peter’s computer

@Napsack  
sorry :< it was an accident

@BoomingBoomer  
Now you’ve deleted her, you foolish monster! What have you done!?

@EvilScotsman12  
In Win 3.1 you couldn’t name a file “Important”—too many letters.
 
Deletes command.com and uploads her to a gopher server
