next video: whats the difference between clickbait and real tech videos

They all make you watch ThioJoe.

The best way for understanding how running (not downloading) malware destroys a pc is: “buying a moldy apple from the store doesn’t make you sick, but eating it does”

6:38 this is not a trojan, it is scareware which scares the user to pay 4! Note: some scareware can be WORSE than a regular trojan!

For real Thio, SO many youtube channels provide about 1-2 videos that have value but you seem to have more than many videos all useful & educates the proper way with well timed examples/ pictures. Keep up the good work man.

"2020 can't get worse" 2020: ok guys i combined a trojan, worm, virus, ransomware, malware, rootkit, spyware all in one virus.

Antivirus programs are like vaccines for your PC

Good video man! I am not an IT whizz. I’m not super skilled or knowledgeable when it comes to computers, but I’m curious and I like to try and learn. I found this video educational and it is nicely presented. You’re obviously a gifted genius. Keep doing awesome things. Thanks!

Thanks for breaking this down like a science and giving this great information!

I never vaccinated my computer Now my computer is infected with Measles

My lord this channel is pure gold! So glad I've subscribed!!! Thank you for all your hard work in putting these videos together for us!! Great job sir 😉👌🏻

Good information for those who use computers, good to know the differences and how different kinds of Malware spreads and what to look out for.

Most comprehensive video about malware I have came across yet and most probably will remain in future... SUBSCRIBED 👊🏻

*_All we know is that protogent can make them all gone forever_*

18 Years with Linux...... this is not even an issue.

-The virus is the species -The malware is a virus that does damage the computer -The trojan is like an undefusable bomb that, when explodes, completely obliterates and bricks the computer Thats my description of the main 3

I'm about to watch this. More video's about the major differences and how to protect yourself from these kinds of issue's should be made more. Hope this isn't clickbait. I'll return after video: Edited: After watching your video I'd say you did an excellent job at explaining the difference between different kinds of malicious and misleading software that can ruin people's machine's. I was really hoping as i Was watching the video that you are going to suggest some types of ways for an average user to defend himself against these kinds of viruses, malware, ransom Ware ETC,and you did. What i would like to see if you have made a video content connecting this video with demo or ways these can accidentally happen and how less knowledgeable ppl can recovery from people trying to do harmful things to their PC, mobile, tablets, etc.. over all great introductions to MANY important horrible events that occur when you are unaware while surfing the net. Can't wait to see compilation to this video. ( If there already is one I'm extremely sorry, which I'll find out the next 5 minutes as I looked through your videos.) 👍

Thank you so much. I often get these terms mixed up.

Tkank u so much, I have been studying for a test that I´m writing tomorrow and I couldn´t find an explanation of how different malware softwares work. I´ll subscribe.

ThioJoe always make great videos, a big fan of yours @ThioJoe

Thanks for the headsup Thio. My IT specialist is a good friend. I self taught myself computer functions when XP PRO was released. Being a club DJ and Audio/Visual Engineer and getting my first electric shock at 4 years of age, gave me an advantage over other guys. I'm not a genius but I know what to look for. I'm running for security...Emsisoft Security, Malwarebytes Premium, Clean Up and Gaurdio. Cheers from Australia, Andrew. XXX??

Great info! Anyone remember the "Masterblaster Virus/Worm".

Really your vedios are very useful. Keep on going. 👍

Hey buddy your video made my concepts crystal clear

Ty for explaining this Got hit by something new called Catch! (Thats what it called itself) It introduced itself similar to Fireball using a software bundler, embedding itself in a zip file with an .exe I had downloaded (TES5edit.exe). Once I ran the .exe, within minutes I was being locked out of random folders via permission, finding random files all over the place with names of just random letters. So within a minute or two, I went ahead and seized full ownership of the C drive, effectively stopping the virus from spreading although I damaged my own computer in the process with many folders I couldnt get access back to. Tried running all sorts of antivirus software and they'd either not work or identify themselves as the virus, removing key .dll files for the progam. Installed Avast for example and it kept closing out of avast, eventually breaking it. Windows virus scanner was able to find and resolve the SoftwareBundler, however damage was done and thats all it could do. I personally was able to find hundreds of virus files via manually going through the folders but couldnt remove or move them in anyway. Some would play syke with me appearing to have been removed or moved until I go back to the folder and the changes were reverted. So what I think happened was that a trojan browser hijacker delivered a virus that was designed to create a rootkit on that computer as a form of ransomware. The reason I believe they chose the name "Catch!" was because it didnt act on encryption as fast as WannaCry, rather the malware took its time encrypting random files here and there after locking their folders. Almost as if it was giving me time to stop it, or rather _catch it._

Happy to see you mentioned BitDefender

Very helpful. Thank you very much.

What I love learning about computers and the malware

I like your videos a lot! Thank you!

Thanks heaps , you do great and informative videos

There used to be Scareware ads when i was watching these kinds of videos about viruses, exactly like you showed in an example😨😱

ThioJoe, a virus cannot spread using bittorrent. Once a torrent file is created, it cannot be changed by anyone else who has the files. If a file is changed, it's hash number will change. If a files hash is changed, it will fail the hash check and will not upload.

Thanks for the video. I like it!!

quick question; can you install a virus checker and keep windows defender, i remember years ago (win 7) i had problems with having both running but had loads of trouble trying to disable defender

Thank you so much! Finally a clear explanation. I have been preparing myself to CCNA certification, and nobody could tell me what the heck were these things. Really interesting and captivating vid.

Thank you, Joseph. I do all the things you suggest to protect my computer.

some malware is the MEMZ trojan for example but it gives you a warning when you execute it

Thanks U Wo Give A lot Of knowledge

GREAT STUFF BUDDY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. KEITH KUHN

I use your tips on how to protect myself from viruses. I haven't gotten any viruses since using them. :-)

are all types of malware automatically detected by the antivirus?? or do they get detected after the malware replicates itself???

Thanks Thio

i had a trojan in my computer and it said there were viruses but my an-ti virus blocked it

My parents had 2 trojans they were called "pc speed up pro" Obviously 10 years ago my parents thought it wasn't bad but turns out it did anything that the attacker wanted it to do.

*Quality Content!*

Another few tips to stay secure. 1. Always use brain.exe. Everybody has one. If used properly, it prevents preatty much every Malware. 2. if you absolutely want to download and execute something or do something you are not aware if it could be malicious, use a virtual machine. It is easy to set up (5 minutes max) and can be deleted if something malicious lands on it. it is also a great way to thinker around, work with torrents etc if you aren't sure what exactly you are doing or downloading.

Well done!

Here's the thing... You tell people to keep their OS up-to-date, which is fine and a good practice to have... but when numerous other tech sites tell you to let Windows handle the updates and stick to the 'B' updates AKA Patch Tuesday updates and Windows Defender definitions, otherwise you are becoming a 'guinea pig' for the 'C' and 'D' updates, which could have bugs... It's confusing to know who to listen to.

I either call it malware or spyware as in a way you are describing types of malware.

Good information

Thank you

And then there's the Thioware, that makes you subscribe to Thiojoe.

Does Huawei phones have rootkit? Cuz they don't give out bootloader unlock code anymore.

The music is best for this video XD

I once had some Trojans, there gone, but good to know that thier not THAT bad.

When I got a virus like 3 months ago it said infected files: one drive. Exe and some random thing also couldn't open anything

0:50 MEMZ: hold my warning

Another good antivirus software is norton. It does cost money but its worth it when you get protected from so many things I wouldn't have even have known tried to enter my system / tried to connect to it.

The next scareware: You can't watch KZfaq unless you pay $1,000!

Wow nice information very informative

you explain what are my questions, not just like other videos lol just explaining what's virus, or worm, or so so

Thio could definitely pull off a late 80s Freddie Mercury for Halloween.

Running minecraft.exe Pc sweating Pc: *I think i got a virus*

Elementary OS is the best,love it

Also one tip from me, if you are infected with ransomware reboot your computer in safe mode and delete the program/movie whatever its causing it than you can boot up perfectly normal and everything should be fine.

Thanks brother :)

Thank you 😊

Obhhh awesome bro.keep it.up

Whew! Makes me want to give up computing!

12:08 yeah.....I mean it's not like the KB4482887 or some of the updates initially cause problems

Forget you Ransom wear and RootKits stuff , re-installs Widows all over again re-partitioning Hard Drive too

I once forgot about my laptop for a couple months (don't remember what i was doing) and when i came back and started using the internet i forgot to update everything and i got scareware installed via steam, I'm glad it was only that cause it could have been so much worse. The malware I'm most scared of is the worms that spread to computers and just lay dormant, because who really knows what they're going to be used for someday? The majority of the worlds computers could be infected and we would never know it and we might never find out who did it until one day we wake up and everyone's files are deleted something even worse. That's just the kinda stuff that keeps me up at night anyway.

If you don't want the various types of malware listed by this kind gentleman...destroy the vessel - your computer. Modern problems require modern solutions.

It's a great explanation Bro 👍👍👍 Can you do video about Android viruses and how protect

Oh wow so I guess what I got that one time was a ransomware huh, scary stuff. I went onto a fake minecraft optifine website to download the mod but instead I got an executable that ended up infecting my computer with a malicious version of chromium and a ransomware that zipped up all of my files and tried to force me to subscribe to their unzipping service. The ransomware was surprisingly easy to get rid of, all i had to do was uninstall it, but chromium was a whole other story. Had to run like 5 different types of programs just to get it to stop its processes since it would infinitely replicate itself and restart itself in the task manager. I'm pretty sure I had to go through the registry keys or something to completely remove it because it was that regenerative

I haven't watched your channel in 5 years and I'm so confused. Either way good video

*THIO - hi I have a question what are the absolute best ANTI = Spyware and Anti = Maleware = That prevents all spying bots and bugs from reaching your PC through music down loads and down loads in general?* P.S. (I ask this because I had a former close friend from the Middle-E that said that he could literally take over and see a person's cell phone without even touching it and only by knowing it's texting number . Long story short . HE WAS ABLE TO DO SO!)

I found a virus in my computer and it was found by windows defender but every time I remove it, it will show up after restart and shut down and on pc. It shows trogen.exe like that and windows says we find it suspicious and ask you to 1.allow 2.quarantine 3.remove every time I click my keyboard or mouse. Anybody say how to remove it completely

You should have mentioned that Malwarebytes works better than most AV and works along side with them to give you even more security.

1. disconnect drive with rootkit. 2. connect it on a linux pc 3. Connect a clear windows drive on the linux pc 4. Do not reboot pc 5. Open evry single file from booth the orginal and the rootkit drive in visual studio code in compare mode. 6. If you find a modifyed windows or registry file replace with the rootkiy drive file with the windows original file. NOTE 1. Do not connect the rootkit drive to a windows pc unless you checked evry single file. NOTE 2. Make sure that the linux pc dose not have any file extension autostart eneabled. NOTE 3. Make sure that you have show hidden files eneabled in the linux file explorer.

hey, that's pretty good!

You're forced to join Discord to be free. Discord squad at the ready!

00:12 "whether how it spreads or what these things do to your computer." The laptop on the video: Am i a joke to you?

Im looking for any malware to keep for collection.

cool video talk joe

thiojoe: your opinion is windows defender for windows 10 any good, or should i go third party?

11:15 Kaspersky rescue disk?

I use the free version of Avast it works. Just that when I try to edit a pic with mspaint that is protected in the Ransomeware shield it says THREAT SECURED. PAINT.EXE WAS TRYING TO EDIT THE FILE [file name]

Have you already done a video about the difference between injection and infection?

Covid: ah. Shit here we go again Trojan: reapeat that again

I am using stopizila. Is this good enough?

when having a virus or anything other "bad" programs: "format c:" most used spyware: Windows10

Please explain the 10 types of virus which are: boot sector, Macro, Program, Multipartite, Encrypted, Polymorphic, Metamorphic, Stealth, Armored and Hoax. Thank you.

6:06 Joe: i dont know any Trojans Viewers: BONZI BUDDY

I once got *Trojan* virus on my computer....

Is trend micro security a good antivirus

6:35 if i got that rouge i would know its bs, because i wouldnt get gigger because i use windows 10, not 98. Gigger is bad though.

Thanks...

what about those viruses that glitch the screen like memz?

cool video)
