My friends grandpa can't remember what he downloaded but this software shows him this when he runs it (attached image) obviously i emailed him and told him not to do what it says, but i was curious if anyone knows what the hell this is?

It would concern me if he got a virus on this computer.

thanks!

If you would like to upload the script somewhere, we could take a look at it. Otherwise, it's probably what it says (since there's no known malware along those lines, as far as I'm aware). No idea where he got it, though a Google search turns up a homepage for a Nitewing 98 who writes AppleScripts.

No real reason to run it, anyway.
