I was not ready for the turn off anti virus tutorial.

Google doing apparently nothing to vet their ads is both unsurprising and disgusting.

And they wonder why we use adblockers.

Adblocking should be a basic human right

This is why you need a adblocker!

One of the biggest reasons why an adblocker is necessary. Yes, ads are annoying and blocking them has adverse effects on whatever service you are using. But the fact that there's malware in predatory ads is a big red flag.

This shows that you need to be careful on the internet no matter how good you are!

That comparison between the fake and real blender website gave me anxiety. I just downloaded it yesterday.

Never trust ads

Remember: When it says "Undetected", it doesn't mean the Anti Cheat. it means VirusTotal.

There was a time when there was fake OBS ad links that were malicious so probably a 7/10 likely

2:01 You would think "Oh, that wasn't from Google search." But it was hosted on their adware platform... So... yes, their ToS may say they are not responsible. But it... is hosting on their website, violating their own ToS with weak enforcement.

The Internet, today, is STILL virtually 100% unregulated. They certainly opened the motherload of a can of worms when they released this onto the world.

Google is grossly negligent. Thankfully, most reputable AV would block these downloads or execution.

This will never stop unless Google is held directly accountable for these malware links. Only then, when it really hurts in their wallet will this actually be fixed.

I downloaded vlc from Google search and windows didn't detect it. It was malware. I noticed the ssd light was on solid. I didn't have this problem after I installed mint on the same machine. Very fast too. Now it's got ublock, no script, etc. And im learning about linux too.

3:50 And that is the reason adblockers are good for you, even encouraged to use by the FBI.

Google (who owns KZfaq) spamming you with Malware. "Why are my users using adblockers? STOP IT!"

this is why I love adblockers

There are a million reasons why being able to buy ads to prioritize search results is a bad idea. Even a criminal one.

thank you so much for this video i didnt know that it was this easy to get malware i thought i had the wrong blender but i had the right one thank you for this video

hey can you make a video about this steam game called Once Human? it just came out today and it’s terms of service is a bit of a stretch when it comes to your personal information and som pple are saying it’s spyware, would love to know your thoughts if u make a video about it

I want to get a degree that is related to what you post. It’s so interesting with the wide range of information and knowledge you have. Do you have any recommendations or any degree you already got? I’d appreciate any info PC Security Channel. Thanks 🙏🏽

Just curious. Could you do the same for a linux dekstop?

Nice video man! Btw what vpn do you use?

A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU ... I NOTICE YOUR 3D MOTION BACKGROUND, IS THIS STRICTLY YOURS, OR WOULD THERE BE ONES LIKE THIS SEARCHABLE ON THE INTERNET? HOPE YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING.

Dear The PC Security Channel Team, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable information you provide. Your content is incredibly helpful and your delivery is always outstanding. Thank you for your dedication and for making complex topics accessible and engaging. Keep up the fantastic work! Best regards, Mowaffaq Kurdi

Got a google ad before this.

That's why I use Norton safe search and everything they offer

Ads are usually a malware and Google is killing adblockers with the deprecation of Manifest V2. This is really creepy.

Nice job ❤

thank you for the vid always educational and on point it does make me wonder can an info stealer obtain your info if you are not logged in and how easy is it to bypass 2FA

2:31 what is that cross in the top right then?

You should do a video on how you could still get malware even though you have your VPN on.

Can you check also Fling trainers and Wemode ? Are they generally safe?

God I love this channel.

Man, strange how this problem was recognized and solved decades ago by Linux package managers, almost like a majority of that malware wouldn't have even had the chance to get on a Linux system

I once downloaded a cracked Wallpaper Engine a few years ago on an old laptop and the archive required a password. To my surprise thinking back the program actually worked but I wonder now if I did in fact receive an info stealer. I don’t recall anything bad happening or any information/accounts being stolen so I wonder what happened in the end

"probably selling it to China" it could be selling to anyone, even USA. After all, USA Companies have the MOST Data Collections

When you downloaded zipmate and ran it there was an exit button in the right corner up.

Not really related, but I just managed to un-roll my PC from organization in my old school where I went to during COVID. We had a work from home and my PC was the part of the organization. The antivirus was managed for the school, disabling a few of the functions.

Fascinating video

edge is better but if u still wanna use chrome use a adblocker but there are some adware adblockers that dont block anthing

obs studio and blender is on the microsoft store

It would be great if you make a part 2 talking about how possible it is to get malware using a web browser **without** downloading anything as I originally thought that's what this video was about. I do realize it might be a more advanced topic though.

Helpful ❤❤

And...... This is why I run a Adblocker... Thanks Google.... for being greedy and not vetting ANY of your ads...

So if it has a password its malware?

Can you commonly get viruses from sketchy websites/popup ads if you never run an executable? I run ublock origin and have windows defender enabled with smart app control enabled

Ive been looking into alot of antimalware programs, but I cant make up my mind what to use. What antimalware would you reccomend for day to day work and gaming?

One question that pop up to me is how can I make sure I don't have "Info stealing" malware, does Windows Defender detects it?? Please do enlighten me friends

LOL As soon as he said he ws gonna search wallpaper cave and get bombarded with ads i got a google ad

Add blocker blocks ads so it would stop you clicking those - I really have no idea why people don't use one

Please make an updated video about trend micro

20 years ago i was a complete pc noob , once my buddy asked me to download this old cartoon ost , surprisingly it was an .exe file once installed it disappeared taking down with it the Av and windows task manger , i learned my lesson the hard way !

those ads before the actual result that give unsafe websites are so stupid and its the primary reason that i am slowly switching to brave if google doesnt care about preventing mistakes to happen because of a fake ad then i can only imagine stuff that i cant see are

I like how you made the cursor big. It enhances the video watching experience.

2:34 Top right corner is clear X to close that! Even i saw that!

I remember when I first got a laptop I got a lot of viruses from downloading games and free video editing software sine I didn't know better at the time, wish someone taught instead of me learning the hard way.

And this is why I have adblockers

Could you please make a video telling whether Davinci Resolve is safe or not? I know it's a well known video editing software, but when I installed it kept on asking me to bypass windows firewall. I need a video editing software and Davinci is the cheapest compared to Premier or Final cut. But I don't want any malware on my PC. So, it would be really helpful to me if you can tell me whether it's safe to use or not. I've already done a full scan using malwarebytes and it didn't find any malware on my PC after installing Davinci Resolve Studio. But if you confirm it, then I can rest assured.

now im scared, how tf do i check if im hacked

Makes me think about OpenBSD's slogan "A secure OS for a hostile Internet".

Which VM program do you use?

Well, I'm a victim of the info stealer malware, still suffering from it for almost 9 days or so

the video asking people to turn off the windows defender antivirus is just too hilarious

You sir are a god 😊

just saying, I would like to see a comparison between Bing and Google safety .

Wow i didnt know that google pumps out so many ads... Thank adguard to Block all that ish

I use ublock origin. I hope it's safe to use.

PLEASE DO THE TEST Eset smart security premium 2024 version.Eagerly requested to you

video quality is very bad even with 1080p on my smartphone. maybe 1440p could be useful?

Ads should be illegal in the internet

Would a service like Guardio help with these malware add

"I'm not going to download Applications" said no one ever

and why didn't you report the video?

avoid ads get a AD BLOCKER. turn it off on channels you support. Never see another AD, pop up Ad blocker FTW

Gotta thank my Bitdefender for confirming i have the real blender

mostly kids are prone to malware for example i remember when i was like 8 and well adult fake notifications popped up because i downloaded something bad

Can you try using Brave browser?

I don't know why i watched this video. I have a mac i don't need safety but i still love it

So how to know the website is legit?

Omg never thinked google was so filled up with malware,im using basically my windows xp vm 8 hours a day with a really outdated version of malwarebytes,i hope im ok

It's all common sense. And who ever clicks on the sponsored results? They are clearly marked and almost never contain the information you're looking for.

Eric Parker, Danoct, Enderman, Flytech, Olivers Tech

i hope he did this video in a virtual machine

wait does that mean wallpaper cave is bad?

"How easy is it to get malware from google - if your iq is room temperature, youre a boomer with most technology knowhow is rotary phones

In CIS countries KZfaq (by Google) literally SPAMS the video ads of a certain chemical drugs Darknet marketplace, regardless of the ad preferences in user settings. Russia is OK though due to YT disabled the ads along with the monetization for Russian IP's

2:30 You have X button on the top right.

I feel much safer not because I use Linux... But because I use Ublock Origin. Yes, I know the Internet is large financed by add, but many of those ads are malicious and it's just good security to block them, regardless of the OS. If Google don't want people to use adblockers, perhaps they should vet the ads better, or at least make so if you search for a specific product then the first thing that appear will be the link to that products website, and not an ad.

Based on my experience, Chrome is dangerous. It can force to control your PC. I don't use Chrome anymore now, instead I use Brave. Much much safer.

And this is why on the eighth day God invented the adblocker.

So my takeaway from this video is, I will never ever ever ever remove my ad blocker. I don't think often about it, but man there are endless ads loaded with all kinds of treats.

It's not that hard

thats why you should use adblockers

I use adblocker to make site less bad. The logical solution to make people disable adblock is make the site less bad by default Instead they double down or even triple down.

The Google feature that allows you to sync your browsers was made to repeatedly infect your browsers with PUPs that hijack you search engine. Not turning off my antivirus.

i don't have a anti virus

Why only Google? You can do this with more engines plus wallpaper cave itself isn’t a problem
