It was given to Joel by danooct1 as the former explicitly stated. Did you watch the full stream or pay attention to danooct1's video? Do research. Also, a guy named danooct1 made a video about it, claiming he found it first. B: Yeah, Joel downloaded it, it's one of the world's worst viruses, and it's pretty dank too. A: You know about that MEMZ trojan? Fun stuff. A: Wait! I need help! I want to look cool and dangerous, nobody loves me, I have crippling depression, halp.

fuck this, you won't learn a thing from this. Do you even have the Destructive variant? A: Well, I have Clean, how do I download Destructive? B: You don't, you dumbass, you clone it with Git and build it with. You've completely missed the joke of it, it makes fun of script kiddies. A: But when she's not looking, obviously! Her work PC will die! B: Kek. Also, a clickbait-ish video showing off MEMZ and calling it one of the 'most dangerous viruses' (MEMZ isn't even a virus, it's a trojan) has over a million views, far more than the 700k on danooct1's video.Ī: Bro, I'll run MEMZ on the teacher's computer tomorrow, she'll be pissed! B: LOL, skiddie, seriously? It'll be so obvious. Because Joel from Vinesauce ran MEMZ on the Windows 10 Destruction stream, his dumbest fans (no offense to Joel) tend to assume he discovered it, despite him explicitly thanking danooct1.

Also, Destructive needs to be built using Visual C++, Python and x86 assembler, putting a stop to most script kiddies' plans. There's a spinoff of MEMZ, called VineMEMZ, specifically made for Joel's streams. Available as Clean, which is downloadable directly, has toggles for the payloads and doesn't overwrite the MBR, or as Destructive, which does everything automatically and also launches multiple processes of itself - if any are killed, the rest floods the screen with message boxes and BSODs the computer. Its sole destructive payload is overwriting the MBR with a text message and Nyan Cat animation, which is fixable with a Windows install CD. Creates a big lightshow consisting of, but not limited to various screen glitches (error icons, color inverting, text reversal, Droste effect), error sounds, random key input, random mouse movement, and embarrassing Google searches with Vinesauce references. Written as a stealth parody of script kiddies.
