Today I am going to show you how malicious pop-ups infect your computer and scam you into buying of the largest cybersecurity vendors' products. It's repugnant how only 10 years after the Fake AV flood we have actual antimalware vendors scamming users into getting their product.
Still got questions? Don't hesitate, send them to contact@enderman.ch!
Hope you have a great day!

in that case what is a true decent antivirus that does the job without telling me that the nuclear codes are gonna be leaked if i dont buy the premium version ?
malware bytes is pretty good but windows defender does the job just fine too so I don't really see any use on installing antivirus,, they can be pretty shady
@@warzone2620 no :lul
not buying the premium then :)

I seriously hate when laptops come pre-installed with these stuff. my cousin was so scared that "there was a malware in his computer" he drove like 2 hours for me to check it out. it was just one of those mcAfee ads
I think you can sue the PC seller for pre-installing this.
mine got pre-installed with those and i got an ad saying there is a malware going to implanted in my pc if i dont renew my subscription lmao
@Legosploiter if pre-installed software says that you have malware, when you clearly don't, without even checking, this is literally a fraud and "pure text" doesn't matter.
@Zacharia Ahmad it's easy to do yourself tbh, you can also just reinstall windows if you have a prebuilt
@@MikhaMikhin some android tablet vendors get away with pre installing adups fota (nasty spyware and package installer) like chumi or some other lesser known vendors
i was told from one of my tech teachers that MCAffe is harder to get rid of than actual malware.
and that was back when i had a crappy pc and MCAffe came with it, and it took abot 80% of the ''disc'' in task manager. he straight up laughed and cringing about how useless this program was.
anyway havent had that since.
Yeah there's literally tools to uninstall McAfee because sometimes uninstalling it the normal way fails or doesn't get rid of everything.
Your teacher is right. I used to have mcafee preinstalled and it's just straight up a virus. It won't let me update or uninstall. I have use the tool from their official site and other methods and it still failed. I need to use Revo uninstaller to force remove of all it files. It take me litteraly 6 months to completly uninstall it, I would rather be infected with a real virus than having mcafee preinstalled lol

Back in like 2017 mcafee ads started popping up on my computer when I didn’t even have it installed, it was telling me that there was tons of malware on my computer, and viruses really creeped me out at the time, so little 8 or 9 year old me probably ended up shitting himself and crying because of mcafee

I use Norton and if you just keep saying “don’t show again” to the ads telling you to buy more stuff, it works great.

Well, at least they're better at knowing when to stop than RUclips.
I used to use Norton and my computer was slowed down to the point it could barely run Minecraft, took a few minutes to boot up, and it took at least 30 seconds to load up google chrome. Then I got a new computer and it took a bit less than 10 seconds to load google chrome, a minute or so to boot up, and Minecraft was not runnable because it ran at less than a frame per second.

Yeah i'd say Windows Defender is good enough so long as you have good browsing habits (such as using an adblocker and knowing not to click literally every link).
Norton was actually good in the 1990s, but I don’t know any era where McAfee ever was. Some of these phony pop-ups even try to come up on some sites on a tablet, but fortunately they’re trivial to circumvent. :-)
I remember around 2012 everybody I asked said it was the best antivirus currently on market... they stopped saying that around 2014 and most of them switched to alternatives. I give it a good possibility it was decent back then

@@katsudon2048 this is a perfectly reasonable thing to complain about. it's one thing if scam operators do this, but reputable companies have *no business* pulling these stunts. it is unethical and immoral. it rightly should be illegal. good case to argue for false advertisement and fraud since the only "infection" here is the serviceworker for their stupid notifications. there's no excuse for this kind of behavior, and it's one of the many so-called "dark patterns" crafted explicitly with the intent of manipulating and misleading users into actions they wouldn't normally commit to.
Oh, just in case anyone wants to know - these browser pop-ups are (often) enabled by your own action (remember the "allow notifications to proceed" "captcha" you clicked yes on?).
If you want to disable these without pulling up the website from the video, you can also click the "More options" button on these pop-ups, which should direct you to a page that'll let you disable notifications altogether, or from selected websites

Unfortunately my parents enjoy using McAfee and Norton and have forced me to install it on my laptop, even though I’m an adult, they ignore me and suggest I use McAfee or Norton to protect my computer, even though Norton goes off every time I log into an account because it’s like, ‘Oh your account is compromised’, it could be something that hasn’t even experienced a data breach and Norton would think I just compromised my own accounts by just logging into them, even when I change the password just to appease it and then log back in, it still stays that my account is ‘compromised’
that’s why you must move away, you can’t rely on people to not be terrible, even family can’t be trusted to full extent to not mess up, raising your child to be smarter than you doesn’t make you smarter

in my time with making my personal minecraft modpacks I've noticed that if you read what you clicking and don't go to any shady links you can be totally fine. plus the modding community is pretty friendly as they don't want they're own handiwork getting the boot from literally the entire world. especially us noobies who just wanna have a good time while playing minecraft
so if McAffee is now a scam, does that means windows security does all the work? I paid 2M IDR (139.82 USD) for the software and it's been included in my device since I bought it
edit: the subscription is still ongoing & I gonna pay another one in a few years, should I cancel the subscription or just make my money worth? 2 million is a lot tho
ask them to give back your money and then cancel subscription, mcafee sucked since release
Yeh don't pay for it install eset internet security it gets the job done honestly they give u a 30 day trial which If u don't like it then u can simply uninstall it
windows defender is as good as an irl window for keeping bad things out

LOL
My dad doesn’t know how viruses work. He thinks they just roam on the Wi-Fi and spread to every connected device so he installes Norton on everything to protect himself. I have told him this is not true but he just tells at me and gets mad lol
Mcafee came pre-installed on my computer, but I uninstalled it after it killed me in path of exile by preventing me clicking anywhere but a popup it made.
Idk wut to trust now only Microsoft Defender :(
actually the REAL norton/mcafee apps are real, not scams
its just that they use illegal practices to trick ppl to get their antivirus to make money so yes they are completely safe
@Zacharia Ahmad Their investors. And a few idiots because our world never had a lack of those
And this is where I strongly recommend Malwarebytes, it's free and offers many things, like when one day I installed adware and spyware on a PC (which wasn't even mine lol), literally at that time Malwarebyte saved my ass from possibly the most savage reprimand I was going to receive in my life lmao
Malwarebytes isn't free

This makes me glad I was skeptical of putting in money. Eventually I found a bug, I’m not really sure how it worked (the computer I got was old and from another person), but you know those ‘1 week free trials’? I managed to get that to loop for a bit, giving me *another* 1 week trial after the previous one ran out. Eventually I managed to get it to stop. Not sure how.
But yes. Definitely targeted at inexperienced computer users like myself who was partially panicked because I downloaded something from RUclips.
Then I remembered such a thing as Trojan viruses, leading me to never directly click on the notification.
Wait, doesn't it ask you first if you want notifications seen? Or isn't that an Edge exclusive thing?
Well, for anyone not wanting these popups: Turn off notifications!
But then you also don't get email or message notifications
or better yet, use adblocks
