and most breaches have little to do with hackers attacking your personal computer but more with hackers attacking major company's computer systems you made accounts with and with them doing very little to nothing about it unless forced to.
If your backup is connected to the network you are screwed. And eventually it will be connected, otherwise you cannot do backup. And you will always backup the virus too. Tricky to know with dormant malware when it was infected
"The typical profile of a computer hacker is a guy that likes to hang out at 7-Eleven" "Who is winning the virus war?" -> "The Good Guys!" "Our product scans for all 250 known viruses" too funny.
oh it is part of it today but then today you have other virus makers that are older in other country's that want you to pay them money muhahahahaha how the times have changed
In an earlier episode about the same topic, Gary Kildall said something like "if only those kids would use their computer knowledge to create something good, instead of something destructive."
When I bought my first Windows PC in 1997 it came with McAfee Anti-Virus already installed on it, but eventually the McAfee Anti-Virus program had reached a point where it no longer worked (for I had the updates once a week up to a year from my original purchase). So I replaced the McAfee Anti-Virus program with Norton Anti-Virus instead.
Alex Lau was fine, but stood out as not as polished as the typical marketing gurus and product managers. I'm guessing he was their lead engineer at the time, brought as a subject matter expert, but just not used to delivering in this setting.
With Norton Anti-Virus on your computer, you don't even need viruses for your PC to become unusable ! ^^
the back up does not work to well if it backs up the virus as well🤣
Malicious comment, NAV was a good program at at time
Gawd your comment is so sheepish
@@domxem5551 I can't help but wonder what exactly changed with Norton.
0:10.....aaaaahhh the good old days. Where people could wander around a virus containing lab without any PPE
Back then you only had to worry about your files, nowadays you have to worry about your personal information, credit cards and bank accounts. D:
and most breaches have little to do with hackers attacking your personal computer but more with hackers attacking major company's computer systems you made accounts with and with them doing very little to nothing about it unless forced to.
And also your files
You can always restore from a backup and defeat a virus, unless your backup contains the virus ;).
If your backup is connected to the network you are screwed. And eventually it will be connected, otherwise you cannot do backup. And you will always backup the virus too. Tricky to know with dormant malware when it was infected
In case of infection, you reinstall programs from original sources, not from your backup (and your backup may even only contain data, not programs).
So glad this problem was solved in the early 90's.
Its still a problem however not as bad as before
😂

too funny.
Those guys had no ideea of the things to come. They could remove 250 viruses, disinfect com files and they were winning.
It is August 2017. And 27 years after this show aired, the Wannacry virus showed that people still don't backup their data.
jomunoz that’s why it’s called wannacry cause that’s what you wanna do.
Imagine if the software updates on your device required you to type in the new code yourself... from a telephone call 😂😂😂 I love these videos.
I take it you have never activated Windows over the phone? Did that as late as 2019 and activated a copy of Windows 7. :)
what is billy joel doing being interviewed about computer viruses?!
"Viruses are made by bored teens" Man if only that was the case today
oh it is part of it today but then today you have other virus makers that are older in other country's that want you to pay them money muhahahahaha how the times have changed

the average teen nowadays doesn't know jack shit about writing viruses. they just call any piece of malware a 'virus'
@@LordHorst Twitter and Facebook are very similar to viruses.
Growing up as a teen in the mid to late 90s, I can vouch for that statement.
David Bowie as writer... (It says that in the Video Description / Music)
To this day, no one backs up files LOL.
Because most files (especially with mobile stuff) is automatically backed-up somewhere.
But depends if you accept them to backup it.

There are 7.56 billion people on the planet. So somebody was born on the same day. Big deal

Backing up still holds up
$150 for a print-job manager/preview window...*whistles*, times have changed.
I didnt copy that floppy ! I swear, it is just a backup !
😁
Ah Ross Greenberg RIP
Police don't even try to fix the graffiti epidemic anymore.

Greetings citizen!
The idea of going to John C. Dvorak for a pointless and vague psychological analyses is rich considering how much of a psychological mess HE is. WOW.
Tbf that's the most normal. Dvorak has ever looked.
Wrong again, Dvorak!
Back when hacking was simple system destruction.
John DVORAK. COME ON.
My computer got stoned before I did :\
Anti virus creator maybe a virus creator as well. Unlimited business.
