Codenamed GEEK, this virus, unlike any other computer viruses, affects both the user as well as the computer. Computer professionals at the Virus Institute of Computing Organisation (VICO), David Bergkamp and Dennis Beckham admitted that the GEEK virus is one of the most feared viruses around.

The GEEK virus works by making the computer run "nerdy-type" programmes, such as certain computer games and C programming languages. The user would then develop interest fiddling with these applications and would slowly have a profound liking for computer techie stuff. Very soon, the infected user would then need 2-inch thick spectacles and develop square faces. The final process of the user being "nerdicized" is when the user starts worshipping Bill Gates and listening to Cliff Richard and Tom Jones.

"This is definitely the virus of the century. Never before has such a virus been found to infect both human and computers. We've got a new enemy - GEEKS" said David Bergkamp.
