This repository contains descriptions of programs that are detected by Trend Micro antivirus as joke programs with the identifying prefix JOKE.
Joke programs usually cause abnormal behavior or display fake error messages to trick users into believing that something has gone wrong with their systems. Unlike most malware programs, joke programs do not change system settings or cause damage. They also do not infect files or replicate.
Joke programs, as they come, have no malicious intent and are not used in conjunction with other programs to run harmful routines.
