Item #: SCP-5262
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5262 is contained in the server room at Site-███. No less than 2 guards must be on standby at any time. Level 3 clearance is required to enter. In any event of SCP-5262 breaching containment, all major server and antivirus companies must be informed of its breach.
Description: SCP-5262 is a computer virus that spreads via botnets. Upon infection of a device (designated SCP-5262-1), it will slowly start spreading to nearby computers connected to the internet and it will begin encryption of all files on SCP-5262-1's computer. This process takes approximately 10 minutes, no matter how much file space has been taken up on the computer.
Shortly after encryption, SCP-5262 will begin changing the background image of SCP-5262-1's computer. The image (designated SCP-5262-2) is a memetic hazard and will send the viewer of SCP-5262-2 into a state of emotional distress causing suicide exactly 24 hours after viewing SCP-5262-2.
During testing, SCP-5262-1's polarizing screen on its virtual machine must be removed. Specific polarizing glasses have been made for viewing SCP-5262-2. This prevents the SCP-5262-2 from being seen for research staff.
Addendum 5262.1: SCP-5262 breached containment on ██/██/██. The cause of the breach is unknown. After this breach, all major antivirus software companies have been informed of the danger and have prevented infection of computers
Addendum 5262.2 On ██/██/██, monitoring of SCP-5262 has concluded that the virus is able to adapt to changes made in antiviruses. How SCP-5262 can modify itself is undetermined. Any changes in SCP-5262 must be reported to Dr.█████ and all antivirus companies until notified that the adaptation has been classified as harmless.
Addendum 5262.3: SCP-5262-2's can now affect anyone, even without the polarizing screen. Attempts at viewing with security cameras or infrared still pose the same effects. SCP-5262 testing must only use audio recordings from now on.
