What is the best way to set up the Pirated Software prank?

For the best reaction, try these tips:

  • Copy the .exe to the target computer's desktop
  • Rename it to the name of a popular program or game -- something the person would want to install
  • You can also burn it to a CD-ROM as an autorun program and leave it on someone's desk
  • The prank works best when the person clicks through the installer without reading carefully, then gets the "authorities notified" message at the end
  • Be nearby to watch the reaction -- the moment of realization is the best part
