A random EXE that does exactly as it says? That was rare even during the frontier fort days of the internet.
I look back to how many "fake virus" exes I used to download and wonder how I never actually got one.
I tried sending on a fake virus I coded myself in pascal to a teacher I hated in 2000. I don't know if she opened it, but she did get demoted from head of science.
