The Newton Virus is a “harmless” virus that comes on a cute USB flash drive which copies itself onto the computer to which is attached (works for Mac only) and for only one time, it makes your desktop fall apart… Eventually the Newton Virus exits and goes away leaving no trace on your computer.

While the Newton Virus is harmless, a program like this could be used to spread harmful code, as a real virus would. If a real virus disguised itself as a harmless joke, it could spread rampantly as co-workers, children and friends “infect” computers for comical value…

Regardless the Newton Virus is quite hilarious, I strongly suggest that you watch the video in the original article here.
