At 8:32 PM, the user searches "how to get a dragon scimitar mouse cursor" which shows a normal cursor. 11 minutes later at 8:43 PM, the user searches "how to get rid of a computer virus", now with a dragon scimitar cursor.

Just FYI, it’s trivial to change your cursor in Windows, and there are millions of different icon packs available for free on the internet without viruses. You shouldn’t get an exe to change your cursor, just find an actual icon pack.

Yep I’ve been changing the default cursor since the Windows 3.1 days. I even used to make my own in MSPaint. Works when you save it as an .ico file.

These days the default selection is good enough for me. Personally I’m fond of the black cursor.
