part 2 Linux?

downloading virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine in a virtual machine makes me feel comfortable

The reason MalwareBytes on your host machine is able to pick up these network requests is because VirtualBox just re-routes the internet connections from guest to host via NAT bridge. To MalwareBytes on host, it would appear as if VirtualBox is requesting these network connections. However you're still screwed if you have any shared folders that are active while these malware are infecting your computer.

Won't the virus just infect other users on the network the host is in?

Our teacher at school made us download a linux iso to use within virtualbox. Now the .iso file was infected, starting a virtual machine with the .iso caused it to infect the entire pc and school network. Windows defender noticed but the damage was already done.

Hello Lifeen, there is nothing to worry about. While using Vmware, your host cannot get infected. This is due, if you do not share clipboards or folders, or even your network, you will be safe. But it has small chance for infect. So thanks for this video. I am looking forward.

Kinda scary and informative because some of these things are happening on my computer so you may have just informed me of something I had no idea about😅

If, for example, you have Linux, and Windows is installed in Virtual Box, then there is probably no chance of getting something

Why is your need for speed "start game Need For Speed"

it depends more on your activities, because you can have shared clipboards and folders, a bridged adapter and still not get infected. But if you are behaving badly, don't be surprised by the outcome ;)

I have never seen a text-to-speech youtuber with such great grammar!

The temp folder CAN hold executables. Especially when using installers, because most time they are unzipping an executable inside them and in order to run them they need a file location so they get dropped into Temp. This can also happen for example when you copy an exe in WinRar, it will copy the exe to the real filesystem into Temp and then copies the path so CTRL+V can put the exe somewhere else

It's possible for malware to infect the host if there's a bug in the hypervisor or your cpu's virtualisation extensions, howeverthese are very rare and I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Thank you so much for the video! I was searching about this topic a while ago and today I found your video in my recommendations page. Just what I was searching for. This video + reading the comment section has helped me a lot to understand. Greetings from a teacher :) (Systems&Networking is not my speciality but I use this tools with my students)

I am so happy that I watch informative tech videos. This one especially. It taught me some things I didn't know about. So this is how hackers really get your pc to be a part of the botnet. This is really scary and now I will be even more careful than ever.

goes much deeper than videos on this topic, very interesting

about malwarebytes blocking the "network" thing, it was because for your vm to be able to access internet, it need to go through your computer, through all of your firewall, which one of them is malwarebytes

In case you are REALLY scared, enable isolation on the host and cutoff connections in cooporation with a very good antivirus software

If you get a advanced piece of malware that can go from virtual machine to host machine malware bytes isn't going to save you.
