I think this used to be a Polish virus joke back in the DOS or Win95 days. That was probably the last era where there were jokes about Polish people being inept.

Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down

Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground

Bury it completely, rocks and boulders should be fine

Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online!
