      Not sure your question? If it's does this work in 2024 the answer is yes, the problem is just clearing cookies from your browser and my video shows how to remove it the MO of how they get it in your browser has not changed.

      Check under your laptop where the fans are see if the vents are blocked. I have an acer nitro and I have a nitro boost button that I can control my fans, if you have an older laptop you could try a program called MSI Afterburner I use this on my Older PC to controll my GPU fan see my PalWorld video for the url to the program and how to use it

    I don't have the words sir to thank you. A very very huge thanks to you, i was struggling with this fake pop ups from past 15 days, i have visited a movie website and my mcafee subscription has also expired in the same month, then i started having all these pop ups from mcafee, windows web advisor, hp, google chrome that my system have been infected with 5 viruses, and on clicking on all of the threats and warning, has always lead to land me on the same mcafee website to first scan and then to buy the subscription. i was completely fed up with all these and was panicked a lot and then finally bought a 2 year subscription, but but but even after spending money, i was still getting the same threats and warnings. Then i started seeing for the solution on you tube, and after seeing lots of videos, and after spending 2 3 days, finally i found your video, and thank god after clearing all the cookies, now finally i am free from all those pop ups. Thanks a lot sir....

      Hey thanks for reaching out, this is commonly know as a Drive by, where you goto a site and just before you click a button a fake site tries to get you to go there or when you click a real link it redirects you to another site. Good practice is to hover your mouse over any links and look what it says or if it say exe this will download a file. They try to scare you in thinking they have access to your computer, if you are worried, disable your internet connection and see what happens, restart your computer open your task manager and at the top 4th tab to the right should be start up here you will see what programs startup when your computer starts up. Also if you do have a file you think could be malicious goto virustotal and upload the file here 50 anti virus and malware programs will scan the file and show results if it's good or bad, some can be false but the rule of thumb is if it finds 4 or more then it could be bad

    Question, which cookies were we supposed to delete exactly?
    (I have so many cookies, so i need to know.)

    • @GNFgeekstuff
      @GNFgeekstuff  Год назад +1

      Glad the info helped, if you have lots of cookies it will be hard to fine the exact ones, all cookies are are kind of a bookmark that saves login and setting info so you can get to the site quicker without all the extra clicks. When you have so many its just easier to delete all and the site you wanted to keep or goto all the time just let them load back in. As it depends on if when you get the first pop-up you accept it can create multiple cookies that in turn create more. So clean wipe and fresh start. Some browser allow you to add specified cookies to a trusted list

      When you clear the cookies that should clear their authorization but if you go back to the site you will get it again, one way you could do it is look at your address bar and at the left of it will be a padlock or setting icon click on thus and you can save specific setting for that site as in allow Java, pop uos, sound,mic, redirects etc a big list you get the option to always ask, allow and block thats how I would do it

    • @GNFgeekstuff
      @GNFgeekstuff  2 месяца назад +2

      They don't really do anything malicious unless they redirect you to a web page that downloads files but then you would have to run the file for it to get onto your computer. What they are doing is pay per click, every time you click to try and close the page it opens another and they get paid 20c to 50c per click

      No all they do is put a cookie that just keeps calling the pop-ups. Websites use cookies to make things quicker when you go back to the site like remember your login, what products you browsed to try and push other products.

    What if I clicked on the fake mcafee "virus detection" & "deleting viruses" does that also mean I just actually downloaded a virus?? What do I do????

    • @GNFgeekstuff
      @GNFgeekstuff  2 месяца назад +1

      No you will not get a virus, these are what is known as pay per click spam, the more you click the more money the person gets paid its like 50c per click up to $1 - $2 pet click all it does it put a cookie in your browser that calls home and the pop up every time you open your browser. Some will install on extention or plug in if that's the case remove them or reset your browser to default setting. Now if something is downloaded it will be a .exe file if you run that you could possibly install a virus, Trojan or malware. This is why I do not have my default download folder set to where my downloads goto that way I know I did not download it but 90% of the time my anti-virus will detect it straight away and 99% when I do a system scan. Why do I say 99% because any new virus or malicious file that is not in their database can't be check if it does not know what it's looking for. If I have a file I am unsure of I goto Virus Total website and uploaded it there and 70 Anti virus and malware programs scan the file and will give you results. In the geek world if 4 of the better anti virus programs say it looks suss then I will read more on the page as some are false positive and if I am still in doubt I delete it.

These people who drop the fake ones on do this because they get paid every time you visit the site might be 20 cents of 50 cents I have heard ifyou get refered to xxx site they can get $1 to $2 per click.
