Disk Knight is a 'beneficial' trojan created by a Bangladeshi student with the hopes to prevent flash disk viruses of spreading. Once infected, the program will prevent all processes from executing on the computer by prompting the user with dialog box whether to allow or block the process.
Although it works like antivirus program that blocks the execution of process, but it blocks all process without determination of its suspicion and makes the user very annoying. Furthermore, it will spread and install itself onto the computer without the user's consent. This 'beneficial' behaviour makes disk knight considered as computer virus.

Its obvious that anything involving Muslims and software is yet one more fucked up thing.
Never trust anything from Bangladesh. They are a pathetic group of people. Cowardly, weak and full of themselves.
You want good software go to India and no other place.
Stupid stupid stupid Bangladeshi's.
