Warning is a Microsoft Agent character created by Dave Higham. Its appearance is a classic theme Windows error message box featuring the text "Warning - if you continue your hard drive will be formatted" with an OK and Cancel button.

According to Dave, this character was created purely as a demonstration of how interactive elements (such as message boxes) can be simulated with Microsoft Agent characters without relying on custom ActiveX controls.[1]

Trivia

  • Unlike most Dave Higham's Microsoft Agents, when trying to decompile its ACS, an error returns saying "Destination buffer exceeded".
    • Strangely, the Decompiled output directory is still created even with the error.
  • As with most classical Microsoft Agents, it has its own color table to utilize multiple unique colors to make the character seem higher quality.
  • Unlike other Dave's other Microsoft Agent characters, this character served more as technical demonstration rather than a useful assistant.
