Are Windows XP and 7 Gold filled with viruses?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- One of the most common questions I've seen on both of my Gold Windows videos is: do these contain viruses? I decided to attempt to answer that question in this video by performing a few scans with both Malwarebytes and Avast! Antivirus. While this might not be the industry standard method by any means, it does give us a good idea of how safe these operating systems are to actually use. As always, feedback and comments are appreciated, as I'd be interested in seeing what you guys have found in your own scans.

Gotta love how Avast didn't tell you the name/details of the threat
In new versions it says the threats
Avast at it's "best"
Compared to a copy of Norton firewall I used in the early 2000's that gave me the IP address of an incoming threat.
Be sure to scan Windows 10 gold when it comes out.
It would probably still be better than vanilla Win10. On Windows 10, resolve all simply deletes the Windows folder to get rid of all Spyware.

@@carlosdelucia3487 while i wouldn't consider windows 10 'bad', I certainly don't consider it an improvement over windows 7 in terms of design, usability and efficiency. That and useless features like cortana being installed and enabled by default doesn't help the experience. Not to mention windows update managed to completely brick a computer of mine and I had to load from a backup and disable the windows update service to prevent this from happening.

I suggest you scan the ISO first with a strong AV, installing an AV within the installed questionable OS may compromise the AV and may not detect the malware integrated. talking from experience here.
I actually did that before even making the videos originally and it showed no threats for both XP and 7 Gold.
Seems kind of sketchy to me. On a completely unrelated note, your profile photo looks like something out of Archer.

This should be more of something you run after an install just boot from this thing
There have been a few reports of viruses (made credible with details) on some of the recent XP mods; these were system viruses, not due to mods, adware, or cracks. Reports were in comments on a private site where one generally doesn't get trolls or idiots.
Hopefully this won't become a trend.

Chicken invader aint really a virus since antivirus think most cracked games are a virus
Some cracked games aren't.
Ik
"Most"
I know right..lol. Hmm..where would I put a virus, maybe in something that is commonly a failed positive. Like a game, like chicken invader.

Chicken invaders is probably infected. In my experience, about 10 years ago, it was almost impossible to find any Chicken invaders game without a virus in it.
I went and installed XP Black Edition on and old laptop I have laying around after watching your video on it and I was paranoid about security as well. After installing it and running a bunch of Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs it came up clean. I'm currently posting this comment on it. :D
Black is and always will be fine :)
I used it years ago.
These gold versions are just crap though.
That's awesome! I might have to install it on a laptop or two just to see how it handles real hardware : )
I used to have it on my Dell latitude D600, God this takes me back lol!
Ran like a beaut, I used it cause it was much more lightweight that the full blown version.
In addition to the various tweaks.

Nice next time I get an old PC I will install an OS remix
What is the benefit of using those strange Windows remixes as your OS anyways? o.O
74ryanwolf Some people REALLY like windows XP!
I guess the two true benefits are having activated versions of XP & 7 along with additional 'Pro' programs (cracked) installed. as for the other factors like tweaks, icons and themes, they're more of novelty features since some people including me like a change in how it looks/runs. personally, I think XP Black Edition and Windows 7 lite are better options. :)
cuz they are cool m8
and windows xp was self repearing from bugs. i had it and whan there was a bug i simply turned let the pc there some hours and was back normal ;)
Linux flavors, if anything?
Black edition XP 2014 was cool.
I’m assuming that Chicken Invaders 2 came back as a false positive. I’ve had this happen in the past with a couple of games that I legitimately own on CD, like 4x4 Evolution. Both Malwarebytes and Avast list the game’s executable, 4x4.exe, as some sort of virus, when it definitely is not.
Bro, you need to see some proper logs.
i think you would really not find any "trojan" with regular antivirus stuff
try to use glasswire or sharkwire to see outgoing conections to botnets lol
Man, 2016 the good old times.
It probably removed windows loader.
Matthew Wong nope. I FOUND WIN LOADER IN TEMP
Windows loader isn't a virus,that's needed for activation
Not if you make an exception it won't

The Computer Worms Team's XP had a really phishy setup to it, that's why I didn't install it.
I like avast! It tells me everything I have to know about my PC's security :)
You gotta use Spy Sheriff bro

It's probably a false positive for some, because most use bits of code and not a database, which sometimes may create false detections. It happended to me once.

Why did it put "Noosey"?
All updated for 2023???.
You might wanna use the Bitdefender Rescue CD to scan for viruses while the OS isn't running.
+SimSimsTECHcrunch that might be a good idea
Are you gonna do it? Because I don't want to download the ISO myself and test it.
I will test it and make a video for you
don't hate on me if the quality is bad though because it will be an unedited mess lolz (give me a couple of days to get it up)
Michael Taylor Ok man good luck!
At least its safer then my ''old'' laptop that was running MEMZ.
Am I right?
But it's dead again!

it's easy to play safe IF u dont let it get online...either play in an isolated virtual box or an old PC thats not on the network... then u will never have to worry.
Buy a raspberry pi for surfing the web and transfer anything that needs to travel across.between.them.in a usb stick.
Even if the install came up clean I still wouldn't risk using it, or installing from any .iso that isn't downloaded from Microsoft.
Same goes for KMS or activators from a public trackers, I've compared them to the ones from mydigitallife and the results were interesting to say the least.
Do you really need all that stuff on the Desktop?. Or can you Uninstall most of that stuff that come's with the windows 7 Gold???.
really nice video and I have to thank you. For a last year i have been collecting old software that i had on my old computer (i don't remember all of programs i had because i was 6) and I found one of those programs. Thanks again
These are standard Windows stuff with the scans. Nothing to worry about with those atleast.
If you want to try the OS without installing it, use a virtual machine with it, try it, then decide
as i'm writing this i do think that any viruses people come across could just be the cracking software which cracks the os and programmes, that could be triggering AV's.
I know this video is kinda old but a great free antivirus is Comodo Internet Security. They call it premium but it's free as long as you choose the free option during installation. Only reason to pay for it is tech support so it's got all the extra features a traditional paid antivirus would have
Comodo doesn't come with the software update feature but i use Kaspersky Software Updater which is a free tool that they offer. Works really well
Don't use Kapersky's software, they spy on you on behalf of Vladimir Putin!
Is there a Windows 7 Legend Edition or Windows 7 Master Edition All in Reply to >Michael MJD???...
Random ahh theory about the Computer Worm Corporation:
They were prolly named this because they're not bookworms, they are tech nerds, so boom, computer worm
Hmm..I DLed and played Chicken Invaders back around the year 2000. My anti-virus at that time didn't ID it as a threat.

In the past I hated norton a lot due to it's previous versions were so laggy and made the entire PC a lot slower, but in like 2014 I got a really bad virus that prevented me from executing already installed EXEs with some random error. I tried like literally all major known antivirus brands and non of them helped me with the virus. When I was desperate because I had so much important data I installed norton as a joke to myself to feed my sense of irony and suddenly after installing norton internet security BAAM... the virus was not functional any longer, after a scan it was detected and infected files were "fixed". I continued living my life happily ever after haha. Ever since I don't use anything else rather than Norton.
straight up ad for norton right here
Couldn't you get a bitdefender trial
I think it is filled with a viruses , no harm but rather to give you annoyance.
most of the time, virus scans pick up cracked games as malware or viruses, but most of the time, it's a non-issue. 90% of the time if an AV picks up a game, it's usually a false positive because of Anti-cheats or cracked games.
still though, if you download something from a sketchy site, then you should at least check it with windows defender, if not something else.
for 90% of people, Windows defender is all they'll ever need, if it's setup correctly, it can be fairly reliable. defender is fairly good at not detecting cracked software, but it does detect windows cracks for obvious reasons.
Or better yet, just don't download sketchy stuff. If you don't have that option then just run Windows through KVM on some Linux distro and throw it away when you're done with it.
@@ethanrushbrook3314 most of them aren't that sketchy. it's just that some antiviruses detect crack tools whether they're a virus or not.
and i quit using Linux because it's simply more annoying than it's worth most of the time.
also using sandboxie is also a much better idea because that doesn't require me to go through the many steps required to spin up a KVM along with getting new hardware, because I'm just playing games with a built in APU of my laptop.

I wouldn't look too much into what the trolls say, it's common for uneducated computer users to think that everything has a virus or malware. Also I hate these anti-virus programs nowadays, they try to do too much. I mean since when have 'outdated' programs been an issue? Sometimes the latest version of a program is not the best version, there's a difference.

my friend if you want to see if the os have viruses change the avast antivirus( it is a very poor antivirus.... is not good at all... i now from my 20 years working in IT). use bitdefender or comodo or panda or kaspersky and scan in full mode not in quick. you should now that quick mode on all antivirus scan just the important files on os to see if they been corupted. today most of the viruses dont corupt the os they just corupt data on your pc (ransomewear for example ) and they generaly hide in windows temp file witch the quick scan dont check. i bet that if you scan in full mode with comodo or bitdefender or iven norton you will find a lot of viruses .......
