There is a report on CompuServe that this "cute" bunny can corrupt the
systems. So I guess it should be classified as a "Trojan".

Couldn't you change the bunny into something not trademarked? How does this thing work? Do the workstations need to have an init of some sort? Does this only work on networks, or will it work on a stand-alone Mac?

Ask Dean, he's on the net, also it's on the 'Night of the Living Disk', and from memory also on the MacHack CD-ROM too. Don't make a big fuss about this .... it's better if lots of people don't know about it (you lose the element of suprise) this is an init that is much more fun to sneak into someone's (or even better everyone in the office's) system folder when they're not looking and then run it while they are working intensely.

I hope Dean Yu gets the chance to post his. However, I found the
Energizer Bunny in an extremely obnoxious place. While in the "About
QuicKeys..." dialog box in QuicKeys 2.0, I was copying down CE
Software's address, phone and my serial number. Suddenly, here the
Bunny comes - being very loud, scaring the crap out of me and waking
up the entire office area. I took abuse for days over that one.

There are two files: NetBunny, which is the INIT (which can be named anything, in fact; the author recommends that it be named something innocent-sounding like `PrintMonitor Prefs' so as not to arouse suspicion), and StartWabbit, which can start a bunny anywhere on the network.
