I don’t have the hope you do. The sheer number of people that believe the moon landing was faked is just plain crazy. There were soooo many people involved with that process, yet it’s still not believed.

There is no way the virus functioned. Seriously. The guy had no tech background.
WMI was introduced in XP (I think? Was it later?) and asking WMI for the version string was pretty common.
The reason there isn’t a Windows 9 is because there was a common test for windows versions that went something like this:
std::string winVer = getWinVerStr();
if (winVer.find(“Windows 9”) != -1)
{
// This is windows 95 or 98
}
A good chunk of older programs would likely have issues.

I don’t (generally) sail the high seas, but I’m surprised that people don’t use SysInternals tooling on windows. Of note:
ProcExp - A way better process explorer and has a built-in VirusTotal scanner for all running processes. 100 times better than standard process explorer. This in combination with windows defender is nearly always enough.
AutoRuns - A tool to see what automatically runs on your system. Included image hijacks and such. This is for handling potential post-infection scenarios.
