Long ago, the technology wizard Sauron created an incredibly powerful virus/hacking program, code named One Ring. Using this, he managed to take control over most of the world's computers. However, there was a small group of police officers named The Last Alliance, headed by Mr. Gil Galad and Mr. Elendil. They had to keep updating their antivirus programs to avoid being destroyed by One Ring. Eventually, however, they managed to track down Sauron and arrest him, and freed most of the computers from his rule. Little did they know that Sauron had a back-up copy on a small CD.
It was Mr. Elendil's son Isildur who found this CD by accident. But he did not turn it in, for he was intrigued by this powerful program and wished to study it. But soon, Mr. Galad, Mr. Elendil, and Isildur's computers were all destroyed by a strange chance. They could not afford a new a computer, so they lost their power over the internet. And as he could no longer study it, Isildur put this CD on sale.
Several years later, a boy named Smeagol bought this CD. He installed it on his computer, and the program took control of it. Now, everytime Smeagol sent an email or chat message, it was changed so that it contained malicious words, and was sent out in the name the program devised for him: Gollum.
One day, Smeagol's friend Bilbo came over and took the CD from him. Thus ended their friendship. Bilbo was a plain guy, who had no knowledge of computers whatsoever. He did not even have access to the internet. As the program's main strength came from the internet, it took much longer for it to contaminate Bilbo's computer. So begins the Lord of the Viruses...
