    I actually almost got my computer infected with Sasser back in 2005, however, I had a quite old, but well updated, Panda antivirus (back when it was good), which stopped Sasser from infecting my system, and put it in the quarantine bin. I already knew about Sasser from the news, so seeing it in my computer was both frightening, and very exciting. It increased my interest for computers, systems, software and malware. Thanks to little moments like this I'm a server technician today.

    The first self-replicating program was actually an accident at some American college, where a professor had created a monitoring program that would keep each computer in good shape. However, due to a coding bug, it multiplied and multiplied until the computer drives were full of copies of the monitor program.

    Once upon a time, I dabbled in the *idea* of writing viruses including "good guy" viruses. But I had already reached the conclusion that a virus could never really *be* "good" regardless of its creator's intent. The only winning move is not to play.
    But I did attempt to look at some code of an actual virus one time.
    It was very hard to follow. I'm trying to read it in the disassembler , and it wasn't making sense. Eventually I realized that was because the code was set up to jump part way through a jump instruction right at the start, and then a lot of that again throughout.

    I always wondered if Wannacry or other such viruses actually did encrypt anything. I remember seeing a couple viruses just like that demanding $300 or something in MoneyPak form around 2012 or so. It was annoying but you could reliably remove them without harming your computer by just going into safe mode. Nothing seemed "Encrypted" to me.

    4:21 I was wondering if you'd mention THAT one. I got that on one of my disks in 1988 from playing video games and sharing floppies. Noticed that the bootup didn't sound right, used DOS Debug to look at the disk sectors, wrote a small Pascal program to remove the "Brain" virus. (same goes for the "stoned"(b) virus). 5:10 the "brain" virus did do SOME damage; it moved the boot record to part of the directory sectors, so if your disk had lots of files, some of them would be lost.

Okay for example if you where a youtuber and you made lots of money with each video and you could do this form the comfort of your house would you leave and get a gob? and have to wake up early to go to work? while when you are a youtuber you make a lot more money and you dont have to wake up early or do anything like that the bottom line is that I am not sure what happened to him /: but i think that he is burnt out a common side affect of being a youtuber thanks for reading!

    Segurazo antivirus (also known as SAntivirus) is described as anti-virus software that includes real-time protection, threat detection, and protection of data and passwords. In fact, this program is a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since it is distributed through the download or installation set-ups of other software. Many people download and install software of this type unintentionally.
    Segurazo allows users to run a quick or full scan. To remove any detected threats, however, they are required to activate/register it - in effect, pay for the 'full version'. Do not trust programs that are offered in the set-ups of other software. Furthermore, these programs provide dubious results - they detect false issues and do not fix any real problems. In summary, they trick people into paying for bogus software registrations. There is a strong possibility that Segurazo is one of these rogue programs. Additionally, developers often add more than one PUA to download or installation set-ups. They use this method to distribute browser hijackers, adware-type apps, and other PUAs. Browser hijacking apps change browser settings to promote fake search engines or other dubious web addresses. Additionally, these PUAs record IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of opened pages, entered search queries, and other similar details relating to users' browsing habits. Developers share the data with other parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Adware-type apps show various ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, etc.). If clicked, these lead people to untrustworthy websites. In some cases, they proliferate unwanted apps - once clicked, they run scripts that lead to download and installation of potentially unwanted applications.
    SAntivirus is an unwanted program installed on users’ computers without their knowledge (usually by other software bundles). SAntivirus can change the settings of your home or work network by using them for its own purposes and make your system vulnerable to other malicious threats.

    Thank you for this video! We've been making a game about Viruses and our main virus character is ILY, the ILOVEYOU virus!
    It's one of our goals to make the characters "lore accurate" and stuff!
    So this helps support the research we've been doing.

    Slightly before your first example, "Creeper," was the "Cookie Monster" that affected Multics systems in 1970.
    multicians.org/cookie.html
    Multics was the second time-sharing system and the one that inspired Bell Labs employees to invent Unix. I think that the Cookie Monster couldn't self-reproduce, however, since the "lock screen" was invented as a countermeasure. Don't leave your terminal logged in!

      You know Paris, France? In English everyone pronounces it ''Paris'', but everyone else pronounces it without the s sound, like the French do. But with Revenge, everyone sings it on every platform outside of Discord, like ''Creeper'' and ''Aw man''... Why, thought?! Why isn't it sung on Discord?! Are you friggin' mocking me?! It takes place in Discord, so do it there, damn it! That shit pisses me off! Bunch of dumbasses!

    The virus that spread itself to every directory... am I misunderstanding directories as what we abstractly refer to as "folders" or did computers just not have very big file directories back in the day? Did it not do subdirectories? I think I would notice an additional file in all my subdirectories eventually when I ls/dir/whatever.

    My friends Amiga 500 got the byte bandit virus in about 1992 stealing half if its 512KB every soft reset so games didn't load saying this game needs 512KB of ram
    Turns out he got it from an inflected game he got from a computer shop
    Both him and the shop never flicked the write protect tab on any of the floppy disks
    I had to go in to the shop and fix all the disks, they were clueless even though they changed loads to service computers
    I was so temped to run my virus killer and xcopy at the same time lol. But I was too honest

    I know someone who spent years writing a book on their 2011-ish Dell laptop, only for all their hard work to be soiled in 2018 by a ransomware attack. They to this day have not been able to even view their years of hard work, which was only saved on that computer for privacy purposes.
