Hello Kitty Computer Anti-Virus Program

Yesterday I posted about Hello Kitty Computer Viruses and other Hello Kitty Malware.

So I thought it would be appropriate really to post today about the Hello Kitty Anti-Virus program!!

Hello Kitty is so cute as a Computer Doctor ^_^

Unfortunately this Hello Kitty Anti-Virus program is no longer available for purchase....

But check out how cute the program looks once you're running it!!

Though it is all in Japanese in that screenshot,

so I don't understand what it says....

But awwww!!!

And this is what it looks like!!

lol

How funny would it have been

to remove the Hello Kitty Virus

with the Hello Kitty Anti-Virus?!

LOL

Hello Kitty Computer Viruses & Other Malware

I've read before that a few years ago there was this Hello Kitty computer virus that was going around on the internet, and I thought today that I would do some reading up on it, as well as other Hello Kitty computer malware (malicious software - i.e. viruses, trojans, adware, etc) that have been around over the years.

It seems that many people like to hide their malware inside Hello Kitty programs since I guess it attracts a more innocent audience :c

Example of Hello Kitty adware:

Seemingly innocent Hello Kitty game, no?

And once you install it,

you have fun playing your Hello Kitty games

like this Hello Kitty version of Mahjong pictured above.

Hello Kitty Cutie World (hello-kitty.exe) is an adware bundler that apparently installs Adware-TryMedia with itself, which then may download and execute new software from a remote server. You can read on how to uninstall it here.... 

Another Hello Kitty virus titled hello-kitty.exe was discovered in 2002 with some rather odd characteristics 0_o

Basically Hello Kitty's head pops up on a calendar and you keep getting error messages popping up, as it says your computer is searching for new hardware but can't find the drivers.

While another Hello Kitty computer virus just has Hello Kitty's head pop up and say "Patch the leaks, or the ship will sink"..... How bizarre! o_o




The Supernova Worm disguised itself as a few different programs including hello-kitty.exe which was spread via KaZaa file-sharing network and MSN Messenger (by sending the infected file to everyone on your friends list with a message like "LOL check this out!!" and stuff DX

It reaches the computer in a file with the above icon.

And this is the fake error message which pops up.

It's aim was to generally be annoying and also attack various websites using ping requests from your computer. It also creates other copies of the worm on your computer (including the funny sounding file cheese-burger.exe lol) and then creates entries in the Windows registry. AHH!!!

Additionally, Hello Kitty fans,

be careful when downloading any

executable programs

(ending in .exe)!

It may be computer malware disguised as a

fun Hello Kitty game or Hello Kitty wallpaper collection.

Hello Kitty On America's Next Top Model

I don't usually watch America's Next Top Model but I will definitely be tuning in on this week's episode featuring none other than Hello Kitty!!

Tonight on America's Next Top Model, models will be wearing beautiful Hello Kitty themed couture gowns made of cute and kawaii Hello Kitty stuff!! I wish I could have all of these dresses! I certainly wouldn't complain about wearing them.... Unlike these models who apparently will be complaining on tonight's episode about the weight of the gowns lol. They obviously don't appreciate Hello Kitty enough to tolerate the pain >.<

Here are the fashion photographs

as a preview for tonight's

America's Next Top Model!!

I love the Kimono style of this Hello Kitty couture gown.

Loving the shape of this dress.

This one looks so cool!!

lol it's the Hello Kitty toaster!!

As seen on the previous post about

Hello Kitty Kitchen Appliances.

Interesting design.

The shape of this gown looks so cute!

I wish I could have worn this at my highschool prom lol

Looks like it's made from Hello Kitty lunchboxes >.<

I'll definitely be watching this

TONIGHT!!

You can watch the Hello Kitty episode preview here!!

Miffy VS Cathy - Sanrio Lawsuit 2010

I was reading up on the different Sanrio characters last night and I read something very interesting about Sanrio's character Cathy, Hello Kitty's bunny friend.

You may have noticed that Cathy isn't really around anymore.

Let me tell you why....

This is Cathy:

Miffy (left) VS Cathy (right)

They kinda look similar, no?

In November 2010, Dick Bruna, the creator of the popular Dutch children's character Miffy (who you may recognize) sued Sanrio for copyright infringement, through the company Mercis. Sanrio appeared in a court of law in Amsterdam where they objected to the court ruling that Cathy too closely resembles Miffy. The court ruling forced Sanrio to immediately cease all production, sale and marketing of Cathy merchandise in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

A legal representative from Sanriostated:

"We object to this ruling and do not believe any copyright infringement took place, a view we intend to express legally. At this point, we believe any impact on company earnings will be limited."

The lawsuit was however dropped after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, as both sides of the lawsuit decided to come together to help the victims of the Tohoku disaster. Sanrio agreed to retire Cathy and  the saved legal costs, from both sides of the lawsuit, were donated to the victims.

How Miffy has changed throughout the years....

Miffy, the popular Dutch children's character, was first introduced into the world in 1955 but she didn't really make it big in Japan until around the 1970s. Which was around the same time that Hello Kitty first came out in 1974. Cathy, Hello Kitty's bunny friend, was created 2 years later and there has since been a lot of controversy as to whether Cathy was based on Miffy.

In my opinion, despite agreeing that Cathy looks somewhat similar to Miffy, I wouldn't agree that it was right for the creator of Miffy to sue Sanrio for copyright infringement as I personally don't think that the two characters look similar enough to sue Sanrio for.
The ways in which one could draw a white bunny are very limited. There are only so many ways which anyone can draw a white bunny rabbit character without it looking like a copy of a million other drawings.

Musti (left) VS Miffy (center) VS Hello Kitty (right)

Saying that, there also seems to be a lot of controversy regarding the similarities between Musti AND both Miffy and Hello Kitty. Musti was created in 1945 by Ray Goossens- far earlier than Miffy and Hello Kitty....
