The stuff behind

The software is basically a "malware" version of https://github.com/SeppPenner/LustigeFehler that shows some nonsense error messages in the foreground, but encrypts data in the background.

• If the software is not run in admin mode, it will crash with an error.
• If the .exe is started in admin mode, it will run and try to encrypt all files on all drives it finds.
• Additionally, it will hide all folders it finds.
