Brian i am in trouble ,i cannot run Malwarebytes in safe mode....what can i do now...can you do a video how to protect from virus your other drive ,most of my files on D and E now say when i open up the files in security it say..You must have Permissions to view the properties object. :(
One thing you left out that I find critical and something I do for all my clients is a discovery to try and identify how they got infected in the first place. I firmly believe an educated user is one that wont have to hire me in the first place. I know its taking money out of my pocket but I cannot in good conscience not try and help them understand what they did wrong. Of course there are those times when you cant figure it out but most of those I believe are because the client lied about something like telling me they was not visiting porn sites when they was...;)
I’m not sure how things are handled across the pond, but if you’re in the U.S. and conducting any business online please freeze your credit file as soon as you’re aware of being compromised. Great video
Fantastic video Brian, thank you. I can see that this will get a lot of views in the coming months/years. It is also worth noting that some banks (in the UK at least) will provide you with paid antivirus software.
Nice video Brian! I like these type of malware videos, I want to work in cybersecurity some day. I would like it if you did more malware videos, thank you!
I gotta virus a while ago and I just reset everything but ever since my mw3 would run really bad but every other game runs good but my mw3 stutters and I know I can run the game because before I reset it it ran perfectly fine I gotta 3060 and a i7 it's also a laptop so usually they have like certain programs pre installed or the setting are like already tweaked for gaming I've watched so many videos and I just can't find a fix idk maybe you can help me or give me a idea

Depends on what you’re trying to do. They can work, but if you’re trying to clean a very badly compromised computer, you will need to use many tools to be sure.
Been a while since i actually had a messy virus on my system(windows 7),if this happened now i'd just reinstall windows probably since my data is backed up and i use the pc for gaming mostly anyway 🤷
Be wary of OEM keys. If you use one to activate your copy of Windows, when your beloved PC inevitably dies, not only will you be buying a new PC, but a new Windows product key as well.
Great info....thanks. My bank gives us a key to generate a random number to get in. You are given a user 6 digit number but then you have to use the key to get the number to login instead of a pw which is a good thing because people are really careless with pw's.
Question regarding disk cleanup though, i've used it a bit in the past, but for some odd reason it doesn't actually seem to be deleting/cleaning anything, because I would run it (mainly to free up space on on whichever drive), hit the "clean up system files" option, it'll scan and it'll say i'll have like 556MB of stuff to clean, check the boxes, hit ok, then go to restart my system, but when I look at my drive i'll have even LESS space than before and if I run DC again it'll give me a whole new amount (200MB now) i'm able to clean (keep in mind I tried running this multiple times sayme thing happened). Wondering if you know the cause this and the solution cause it's been almost a year since i've used the tool and not sure whether I should go back to try using it especially since i've read stories where disk cleanup even deleted someone's hard drive while others face the same problem with it just not cleaning up files.
Hi Brian I am a subscriber to your Channel. I want ed your most recent episode on the removal of viruses, and I believe there should not be any other programs Brandon by Microsoft other then Defender.
I won't do my usual " I run Linux " comment. In all honesty the last time I had a virus or any sort of malware was way back when I first tarted using Windows 7.If I werre to get a virus now with Windows 10 I would just do a fresh install. I have various backups of everything so it's no real issue to do a reinstall.
Windows 7 was bad for virus, I had to turn everything off on Windows 11 just to infect it, the both OS are like night and day when it comes to how easy it is to infect with malware.
@@Britec09 I'm not on W11 yet but on W10 I've only ever used Windows defender and run malwarebytes every couple of months but really found nothing but trackers so no worries.
Good advice,but you can save yourself a hell of a lot of trouble just by always running your machine sandboxed. Stops everything,especially Zero Day threats.
Lawd Fadda, I have such a headache after watching this. Now I need to run out and by another computer so that I can watch this again and follow your steps on my main computer. OOO 😬😨 my aching bacon
Good advice. But stil the best way to deal with virus' is not to get the in the first place. Only use trusted sites, don't click on strange emails, don't use cracked software, and set windows to show all extensions.
I think the virus in my pc is causing the crashes while i tried to install a anti virus software, every anti virus software is crashing when i try to install them. I need help!!
@@Unknown-ni3gy BS... It is the ONLY way to assure your "stuff" stays safer... but NOTHING is perfect-- although the separation gives you a infinitely greater chance of it.!!!
I had the same problem a couple months ago and i used malwarebytes, it found 1,571 items detected and i had to delete each file and each registry by myself and i have done it in 3 days now my pc is much faster then before. The only problem i have now that when i downloaded malvarytes now it deleted my windows defender i mean Virus And Threat Protection panel, can you help?
My computer been popping email app then I uninstalled it but chrome is keep on poppin. I tried downloading antivirus softwar and malwarebyte they can't detect it
Hey bro I just spilled like half a bottle on my laptop and i had to reinstall windows. I left it to dry for more than a day. But 9 of the keys dont seen to work right. Is there anyway of fixing them?
Excellent video ... Wondering how to know the windows 10 background legitimate processes? Found by coincidence your RUclips video (How to Easily Delete Computer Viruses, 18 Feb 2014) , could it still be applied? Valuable knowledge 💯 Catch my attention windows 11 more secure than 10 ? Any added tools to gap the difference if so ? Thank you for sharing and kind regards
I haven't major virus problems in years the biggest one's we're all the so called free keygens for software if I had as many virus problems like in the video I mostly likely just wipe the drive
I have a huge virus, it is called Windows 7, which was the operating system on my computer when I bought it from HP, well alas the Hard Drive died, I thought nothing of it since it was an old computer, but lately it seems MicroSoft has stopped all things to do with Windows 7 and 32 bit Software, well I am a game collector and have lots of 32 bit games, so when the Hard drive died, I was thinking just replace it with an SSD re-install windows 7, and use the key code on the side of the computer, but me reinstall Windows 7 was on the hard drive (now dead) so I went into my collection of Windows OS disks and re-installed Windows 7, now why windows 7 32 bit, it was and still is the best OS MS ever made. So I installed it, put in the key code on the side of the computer, and I get (you have a counterfeit system on your computer) and now after 29 days I get please activate pop ups which stops whatever I am doing. OK, I tried activating and the activation site doesn't seem to exist anymore. Now I am only using this system to play games, so it isn't even hooked to the internet except to download patches for the games. So if you want the biggest virus ever made buy Microsoft!
I get a lot of customers that think they have a virus, because their pc is running slow, or they get adverts on certain Web sites. Most of the time it's because they don't use their pc often or long enough to do the windows or antivirus updates, turn in once a week for 10 minutes to check their emails, then turn off before it gets chance to update, then next time the pc has double the work to catch up.
Today it came up in the bottom right of my desktop that I got 5 viruses and I am so worried so I looked up videos to help so my parents don’t find out and they will be fuming
hello folks will reinstall windows really get rid of every virus etc - ive reset my laptop twice using britecs advice and also ran tronscript - which was going great untill the end when it couldnt access some locked files - im not very tech savvy so i didnt know what to do with the files - but since then ive noticed when i switch my laptop on a window pops up every time listing the default apps - im worried about going through the whole process of reinstalling windows for nothing - i know theres something wrong because amongst other things - defender offline scan doesnt run anymore - neither does eset 😞
Just make sure you scan the PC with multiple different antivirus software. Use Kaspersky rescue disc and let that scan complete. Then run eset online scanner, malwarebytes and hitman Pro
i went on a site that told me to turn my notification on for it and i kept getting notifications from it saying i had a virus but i never found a virus on my pc should i still be worried
OK Brian great video but, where is the link for that advanced task manager? That you shown in the beginning. You said you put it the description but it is not there.
Let me know down below what process you use? drop us a LIKE 👍
Bro help me with the .auth15
On desktop it creates by itself
I delete but still appears
Please make a video of it 🥺
TOO LONG & COMPLICATED. BRIAN IS REINSTALLING THE BEST OPTION.??? 🙄🙄🙄
@@melonshop8888 still the same thing 😞
To detect virus Open Task Manager -> Startup then Observe if there are Random Programs with funny file names running on windows startup.
Brian i am in trouble ,i cannot run Malwarebytes in safe mode....what can i do now...can you do a video how to protect from virus your other drive ,most of my files on D and E now say when i open up the files in security it say..You must have Permissions to view the properties object. :(

Also, if you're running something like Windows Defender, will it work well being off-line? To add would it be better to run the quick or full-scan?
Online better I heard.
kinda makes me feel guilty for being so consumed
I thought i had a virus, but then i looked in Task manager and found out i dont
Dear Brian,
What are your thoughts on open source AV solutions?
Would you ever use them for on-demand scanning?
Many thanks!
Depends on what you’re trying to do. They can work, but if you’re trying to clean a very badly compromised computer, you will need to use many tools to be sure.

I’m going to school so I can’t go on my pc and I’m pretty sure I have virus so I have disconnected my pc from power will it be OK?
To answer the title : JUST PUT A MASK ON IT.....AND GIVE IT A BOOSTER.....
Maybe that kind f of joke is not good at this time, since the infection rate in the UK is increasing
Damn I had no idea about that program process explorer amazing
Glad I could help
In the past I would always configure a boot time scan (I used Avast). Not sure if this is still a good way to go.
hi so, i keep getting notifications on my computer that there’s like malware on my pc yet, the scan said nothing? What do I do
Stop visiting Indian tech scam sites :D

best way to get ride of virus or check if there is virus 1st open bios and scan 2nd factor reset using bios
