SCP-XXXX

Current host of SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Current known¹ instance of SCP-XXXX is stored within a 1982 model Commodore 64, which is approximated in a chamber equipped with electromagnetic shielding. An electromagnetic pulse jammer is to be present on site at all times, ready to be activated upon notice. Along with it, 2 additional electronic devices are to be placed in the chamber to serve as a temporary host in case of malfunction of the host. Foundation personnel are not to bring a personal device within an 80 meter radius of SCP-XXXX. Non-host devices that is infected by SCP-XXXX is to be destroyed to prevent a wide-scale info-hazard. At least two professional technicians are to be present at all times during testing for monitoring and further understanding of SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX manifests as a malicious computer virus with unknown origins. SCP-XXXX can be spread amongst devices through an unobservable method, as the virus has not been located on any internet downloads or monitored e-mail attachments. The virus has the ability to access documents within the computer, and once locating a document with at least a hundred words, it proceeds to modify the document, replacing certain words with misinformation or at times, deleting the document in entirety. As of Incident-XXXX-1, it has been confirmed that SCP-XXXX is able to transfer files between devices it has access to. SCP-XXXX has been the responsibility of numerous cases of info-hazards and data leakage during its containment. Efforts to eliminate SCP-XXXX by unplugging its host has resulted in the virus moving to manifest itself into a separate device. With this noted, the neutralization of SCP-XXXX through eliminating its host has proven unsuccessful, and it is likely to cause more harm by unplugging the host SCP-XXXX resides in.

Test Log XXXX-A

Assigned to Test: Dr. ██████

Device Assigned: Homemade EMP jamming device

Summary: Host of SCP-XXXX is one standard █████ model personal computer with stable connection and energy flow. Additional █████ model EMP-proof device placed next to the host.

Result: Once activated, the host ceased all functions. Upon examination, the virus had manifested itself into the device placed next to host. However, 90 seconds after the transfer, the original host reclaimed power and SCP-XXXX 'infected' the personal computer, thus creating 2 instances of SCP-XXXX inside both devices.

Dr. ██████'s Note: This thing is clearly a threat to the confidentiality of our Foundation. I'm requesting furthermore permission and manpower for future experimentation. Hell, who knows how many of these instances could be out there? We need to figure out a way to create a 'vaccine' for this virus as soon as possible.
