Hello.

Please, I am very pleased with GIMP. Very nice and good program.
but now a virus has appeared.

See attached file. I don’t like this cow.

How do I get rid of it?

There are no cows on the GIMP farm, only five-legged goats. They are yours forever.

Please upload the screenshot. There are no attaches here.

Maybe the OP doesn't like Wilber's head in the empty image window.

Maybe. The eyes flash red under certain circumstances. It's quite creepy... Though this is not a new thing in GIMP. :)

If this is an actual fact - that sometimes Wilbur's eyes flash a color - then here is a request that this very odd "feature" be considered a bug and removed.

Creepy flashing eye colors randomly appearing under "certain circumstances" is not the sort of behavior that instills confidence in one's editing software.

Or a reminder of GIMP's independent nature. I found it a bit cool that I located an Easter egg. But yea, could be cause for alarm or mistrust.

I doubt any of this is this user's problem.

Hopefully they will reply with more info.

Easter eggs that only show up on April 1 are that bad?

Perhaps creepy red flashing eyes (relying on CR's description) isn't the sort of thing that makes people happy, generally speaking? What do you think?

Haha, just on April 1st, and only when you have not opened a document in a while? Wow, that is an obscure Easter egg. I feel really hard-core to have found that one!
I think until someone complains (for real), it's probably fine. Maybe patch it to flash some other colour? Like purple, so it's not as symbolically evil? Maybe make them actual easter eggs, or the notorious GIMP bell pepper? :)
