After a few days the hologram will have degenerated into complete insanity similar to sociopathy and psychopathy depending on the holograms sane mindset. Telepathic powers will have manifested by then, limiting the lifespan of the hologram depending on how much they use them.
By this time the only way to save the hologram from crashing and death is to perform a system restart to purge the virus from the system core. It is advisable afterwards to keep the hologram isolated just to be on the safe side or a bit of vengeance if you are up to it.

Holo Virus. History Talk 0. She attacks the Boys from the Dwarf with hex vision and speaks to Rimmer aboard Starbug via the radio. Happy to leave the others to deal with the danger alone, Rimmer takes the escape pod back to Red Dwarf. In the station, Kryten tells Lister and Cat that the holo-virus burns up life energy and Lanstrom only has a little life left.
Lister suggests they just let her chase them until her time runs out, when Lanstrom suddenly catches them. Just before she can finish them, she succumbs to the holo-virus and dies. Returning to Red Dwarf , Kryten studies the fruit of Lanstrom's research, positive viruses. The mechanoid explains that these operate differently from regular viruses in that they actually improve the human condition and shows off a luck virus, which Lister demonstrates by using it to pick all the aces out of a shuffled pack of cards, beating odds of , to 1.
Suddenly, as Starbug approaches Red Dwarf , Holly finds herself unable to open the cargo bay doors as Rimmer is overriding them. Rimmer himself appears on the monitors and explains that he is instead sending them into Bay 47 , the Quarantine area. Space Corps Directives insist that they spend twelve weeks in medical isolation to avoid giving Rimmer any diseases they may have picked up.
He also insists that they share a one-person room, since only Lister qualifies as a crew member. Rimmer also obeys the directives dictating he supply basic nutrition and entertainment facilities, providing a diet consisting solely of sprout-based dishes and their entertainment choices include a wallpapering video, a knitting magazine, a chess set with one piece left and a completed puzzle book.
They insist that they will be fine and promise to never get into so much as an argument Five days later, Lister has a black eye, Cat a broken nose and arm, while Kryten is panel beating his head back into shape following a brawl caused by the wallpapering video.
The combination of Lister's disgusting habits, Cat's feeble brain, and Kryten's low tolerance of ignorance has the three ready to kill each other. Luckily, Kryten remembers that according to Space Corps Directives they can insist on being rescreened for disease after five days since they've shown no symptoms.
Suddenly Rimmer appears at the window again, only this time he is wearing a gingham dress and has a penguin glove puppet called Mr. It is now obvious he caught the holo-virus having contracted it when he spoke to Lanstrom on the radio and is totally insane, and after some babbling he switches off the oxygen in the quarantine suite to teach the rest of the crew a lesson for trying to deceive him.
The only way out is to key in the correct code on the door lock, and the crew suddenly remember the luck virus they have on them still. Using it, Lister guesses the code to unlock the door and they head for the hologram projection room to find a cure for Rimmer's ailment.
Rimmer has now tapped into his psychic powers and tries to kill Kryten with a telekinetically-thrown fire-axe. He then blasts his hex vision at them, taking advice from Mr. Thanks to the luck virus, all the equipment they need to restore Rimmer to normal - including a remote link to the hologram projection suite - just happens to be lying at their feet.
