FYI:

Several practical joke programs are available on webpages that students can
download and install on computers without your knowledge. We found "Revenge
Pack" installed on one computer this week.

Here's what it does:

Revenge Pack I
Features from random error messages, funny messages and start/close programs
randomly, to background on top, open/close CD drive,and more(total of 17
features).

Students think these are fun and harmless, but they cause BIG problems in
computer labs and libraries.

Check out these web addresses for an idea of some of the prank software that
is available just by clicking and mouse button and requesting a download.
