However, as soon as five o’clock in the evening came, the computers there started to play the “Alps Ichiman Jaku” song all at the same time .
When the salesman who was wondering confirmed what was happening, the person in charge shrugged and answered .
“I don’t know why, but this song has started playing at 5 o’clock recently . ”
“This is a computer virus!”
Upon examination, it became clear that all the computers in the store were infected with the “Yankee Doodle” virus .
