I was browing this forum on the thread (which I head recently heard about previously from a YouTube video), which then lead to to a Reddit post relating to it.
One of the comments on the Reddit post goes as follows:
"I love paranormal stuff related to tech. I think it's an underrated category that we'll see develop over time.
I realize probably most of it can be chalked up to glitches and stuff but there's some genuine weirdness out there like this.
I'd say around 1999 I was at a friends house playing worms on his Lan. It was the first time I'd ever played a pc game against someone in a different room.
Worms crashed and kicked me back to the desktop where a very pixelated chimpanzee quickly swung across the screen, and then everything broke. His dad owned a repair shop and said it was some kinda virus or whatever. I told him about the chimp and he didn't know but was able to fix it.
I've searched for this year's later among documented viruses and didn't find anything. Maybe I'm just dumb and can't find it but man it was spooky."
The same user replied to another comment asking if he saw the infamous Bonzi Buddy virus with this:
"This was a "realistic" albeit highly pixelated chimpanzee. I don't think it even had branches to swing on, it just monkey-bars'd his way across the screen and then everything went to shit."
Computer virus involving a realistic (yet pixelated / compressed) photo of a monkey, not Bonzi Buddy, sometime in the late 90's
