Programs classified as Hoax do not directly inflict any damage on the victim computer. They do send messages saying that damage has been done or will be done, or warn the user of a threat that does not actually exist. These “bad jokes” include programs that frighten users with messages about reformatting their disk (although no formatting is actually taking place), and display messages typical of viruses, etc. depending on the program author’s “sense of humor”.
