[edit] Snowflakes.exe

Hoax article, does not provide references and makes claims like 'no antivirus program can find it', an immediate red flag. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 01:30, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

• It's not a hoax, it ran on my computer. There were no resources available to me to let me know that this was a malicious program, and I was hoping other people would be able to know that it is. I don't have any references because I myself am the only reference I could find. This is a knowledge base, and I'm providing new knowledge... the people who put the link to ytmnd in are not me. 10:18am November 30, 2005 (Previous unsigned comment from User: 192.216.228.178)
  • This isn't the place for original research. If your claim has been analysed and verified by a reputable source, it might warrant inclusion. Still think this is a blatant hoax though. :) Fourohfour 20:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Well if you think it's a hoax download the file and run it on your computer. Some idiot put the link to the actual file on the page--you can find it in the history. What kind of source is more reputable than my own monitor blanking out in front of me? I've put up "new knowledge" on wikipedia in the past and nobody complained. brentonboy 8:36pm, 30 November 2005
    • Could you please refer us to specific examples of 'new knowledge' you've put into Wikipedia in the past? Any articles you can point us towards would be very helpful so we can go and perform the necessary edits. With your newfound understanding of WP:NOR, I know we can count on you to avoid more original research in the future. Thanks! - CHAIRBOY (☎) 05:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless there's a virus warning out there with this name on it. Go to an anti-virus forum if you are worried, not to wikipedia. Zordrac 13:14, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
