Funny Computer Pranks including scary computer pranks and prank software

Well pulled pranks are always unexpected and computer pranks are no exception. Your victim will likely be unsuspecting when approaching his or her PC, with full anticipation on a good time, or at least an uneventful time on the computer. That's where you can come in to jolt them back to their senses with a world class computer prank.

How do you choose? Assess subjectively how well your victim knows how to use the computer. Did he or she grow up with computers or are they noobs (if you don't know what 'noob' means, you're likely to be one). How often have they been pranked on the computer? There's no need to go into detailed research on this though, otherwise it will take the fun out of the prank.

If your target is unfamiliar or unskilled with computers, you'll probably be able to successfully pull off all the pranks in this section. However, some of these pranks will probably not work on a seasoned computer user, but you can still try. After all, no one can know all pranks :).
