I could see young me accidentally downloading this on the promise of a new art program or being able to play SiN. I couldn't imagine having to endure the headache of replacing your entire computer over this virus back in 1999/2000.
the only difference between v1.2 and v1.4 is that v1.4 activates on the 26th of any month instead of just april 26th the copyright string was changed and also v1.4 doesn't infect winzip self-extractors to quote the source code (which has been online since 2014 or so) "Full Modify the Bug : WinZip Self-Extractor Occurs Error." there might have been some later versions as well (but likely unofficial), cih.1046 and cih.1106 (named after their sizes) v1.0 and v1.1 were inert, and was just the dev figuring out how to infect apps without increasing the filesize and detect NT-based OSes (to not break immediately upon loading into an NT PE); they have no payload
Am. It is quite impossible to do it. For example it works only with 98 and 95. And it is very hard to do it, because official version will not even start the install process. You should have motherboard which can simulate ide hdd/cd system. It means that amd motherboard do not fetch to our porpuse. And even if you could do it, install, the max harm which you will get - empty hdd. Your bios will be ok, because it already has protection from CIH. At least most pentium 4 motherboards and amd analogies had this protection. So i think that modern motherboards also have

No, but coincidentally, one of our past developers was. This was mainly a gag because we were scrolling through the Character Map application and the Symbol font came up.

This is why you kids got told not to go on shady websites... ;)

My mom’s old computer was infected with CIH in 2000 and I’m pretty sure she used it as an excuse to throw the entire system away lmao
To be trashed, the system had to satisfy two conditions, the first was using a Win9x OS, the second was let the bios write protection disabled.
This video is scarier than the virus it self
;)
10:30 The lovely sound of my old P3 PC falling apart and 98 not knowing how to work with it...
I unironically want that wallpaper you made
the Compaq Presario 2240 machine is also vulnerable to CIH
10:28 Mother, mother! The computer's farting at me again, Mother!
OG Xbox music, eh? I see you are a man of culture as well.

Hey 86Box! I'd like to know which trio is better. Trio32 or Trio64? I use trio32 because of its hi-res and 32-bit color. Thanks!
Generally, Trio64 should be much better, but the OS you're using could have an impact as well. Feel free to experiment!
@@86Box i'm using windows 98 se with around 128mb ram
@@lakittor edit: sorry i didn't know
@@universenerdd Thank you :-)
@@universenerdd I will remain quiet while the misinformation spreads.
What happens if one downloads it on a modern PC?(assuming you have a version of windows compatible with it.)

...what's that background noise in the video?
Sound's like the audio from the original Xbox dashboard
OG Xbox - Engine Room (no speech)
Sounds like the Enterprise in the back :-)
This is no ordinary computer noise, I tell you ;)
ValveGMD, you got it! :D
Hopefully danooct had a ROM writer.
danooct1 deliberately used a shit computer he was ok with destroying because of its general lack of quality.
@@daemonspudguy But if you have a BIOS backup and a ROM writer it can come back to life.
@@soundspark dan didn't want it anymore. He doesn't own a ROM writer, nor have a BIOS backup
As stated in the MeltingScreen video, he clearly wanted to destroy it as it was on its last legs anyway.
why can't this wirus affect computers today?
Windows NT isn't compatible, it was only compatible with windows 9x versions.
New hardware isn't foolish enough, and CIH only works on 9x.
If you want to see something similar to CIH on a modern pc, look up OIETIF.
beep... beep beep... beep beep... beep beep beep
dude this is borderline schizo now xD
dancoot was infected just by copying the cih.exe and without running it. That's very scary
9:49 guys, are you Greek?
