Shakedown

Overview

Vendor Description

 From the doc: 'Shakedown will take your current desktop and shake it violently. This will not only annoy you to death, but also give your eyes a good strain. Run this on a friend's computer when they are gone and wait for them to arrive with that puzzled look.'

Category

 Annoyance: Any trojan that does not cause damage other than to annoy a user, such as by turning the text on the screen upside down, or making mouse motions eratic.
