[Download] The Button You Should Never Have Clicked
It’s me. Employee A.
These days, terms like “one-click scams” and “malware” have become widely understood,
and I think people have developed at least some level of caution when it comes to downloading things carelessly.
But in the early 2000s, it was a time when internet literacy was still far from sufficient.
I myself fell for it once back when I was a student.
The screen froze, and I hurriedly forced the program to close.
Even now, I clearly remember that feeling of
“I might have just done something irreversible.”
Since then, security software has evolved, and countermeasures have been put in place.
Still, even in this day and age, is it really true that nothing can slip through those defenses—
something that quietly makes its way into your PC without you noticing?
At the very least, since beginning this restoration work,
I’ve experienced a number of unexplained bugs and strange behaviors in my own environment.
I no longer feel confident saying that “nothing is happening.”

That reminds me—there was some data I had left untouched for quite a while.
On the screen, it simply says, “For now, try downloading it.”
Beyond that, there was a file named Trojan.zip.
Old memories came rushing back, and I couldn’t bring myself to click it for a long time.
Still, having decided to see everything through, I finally tried running it the other day.
However… I force-quit the process before the progress bar could reach 100%.
The name alone made me think of a “Trojan horse.”
I honestly have no idea what might happen, so I plan to check internally before attempting it again.
It’s possible that someone else has already tried it, though…
