	'''Plasker syndrome''' ('''PS'''), historically known as '''black voodoo syndrome''' ('''BVS'''), is the name given to a group of similar computer pseudo-viruses, malware, and malfunctions that are usually fatal. They are named after the unfortunate [[Jerry Plasker]] who suffered major hardware failure following a fatal case of ~~BVS~~.
