There is nothing I like more then to find or hear about hidden easter eggs in software, games, products, etc. I just love it!
You probably heard of the famous Google moon easter egg that when you zoom in really close, the moon surface starts to slowly turn into yellow swiss cheese. A video of it can be found at Youtube.
I recently saw that even Spybot Search & Destroy, a free anti spyware software, has developed their own easter egg. Believe it or not, but when you click on the small binoculars image on the top left of the screen while scanning, a little game pops out. The goal of the game is to uncover all the numbers in order to reveal the hidden picture underneath. It isn’t difficult to recognize the image, but it isn’t as easy to finish the game.
So next time you are bored and are scanning for spyware on your laptop or desktop, remember the little hidden game that is available for all. Enjoy!

Awesome. Definitely works, too! If I could only figure out the game, now.

It is an interesting game I would say. I do not get how it is played though.

Hi Everyone, thank you so much for your comments.
I am glad you all like easter eggs like I do.
The object of the game is to uncover all the boxes one by one. Once a box is selected, you may continue to move in “knight-like” moves only (such as in chess) that will also be highlighted. This of course limits your movements and strategy must go into play in order to play the game and uncover ALL the squares.
