@@Michaeldavidrealfan for app support yes, it not great but it is better than windows in every other way, especially security and being practically immune to most malware
@@redstonemaster6264 most viruses don't work on Linux as they are almost always targeting Windows users. Also most Linux software can be found in official repositories that are open source so the code is secure, safe, bugfixed and major security vulnerabilities that are disgustingly common on windows software are practically nonexistent. The same applies to the os and kernel as a whole. There are so many different distros and forks that every vulnerability imaginable has been patched by someone.
Overall Using Linux doesn't actively protect you from malware but it makes it much easier to avoid it as all the software you would ever need is available in a secure community checked way, major vulnerabilities are extremely rare comparatively with windows, and finally, most viruses are made for windows and simply won't run on Linux
@@redstonemaster6264 Bad mindset. Not everytime you will be able to "defend yourself" from virus attacks. An good anti-virus is necessary on a PC, when the time comes and you don't have one, you're doomed.
Honestly, I use ClamAV on both Windows (when I absolutely can’t avoid using it) and Linux. It is a fine, open source antivirus intended originally for mail servers that doesn’t spam adverts everywhere (in part due to often running on systems without screens). On Windows, ClamWin (which provides a scanner for the user to use) and Clam Sentinel (for automatic use of said scanner) is enough for basic protection (if paired with the usual requirement of decent judgment, always using the download button that looks least like a download button, and keeping up to date).
If you're in windows, defender and common sense is enough. If the program is sketchy then dont download it, if it's source is unknown then dont install it. Also install an adblock on your browser so that you can prevent yourself from clicking pop-ups or drive by downloads. If you're using linux then just install open source and trusted software or alternatively, just install software via flatpak or snaps since software that are in there are tested and checked. Never give a program elevated privileges if it seems sketchy....
@@trekot7791 it's true though. Knowing to not click on shady emails or fake download links saved me from a lot of viruses. You wouldn't buy from a shady drug dealer would you? Just apply that same mentality to the internet and you'll never have a need for any antivirus
But several question: Can i make it? Am i have time? Am i have money? Am i have computer? Can i coding? Is my coding skill enough? How to make it? Do my parents allow me?
@@redstonemaster6264 Actually it does; there are FAR fewer viruses for Linux than there are for Windows, so, you're currently much less likely to get a virus, using Linux.
Windows Defender + your common sense. Don't click at sketchy shit.
Oooooor you can install Linux on your system too. Not that I'm saying "You can't get infected in Linux because there's no viruses for it" but the chance of getting infected in Linux compared to Windows is very, very, very low because well, as you probably know most Linux users are tech savvy and knows what they're doing. If I was a hacker who writes scareware/ransomware virus for living, I wouldn't bother with people who know how to eradicate a virus from their computer, instead I would just target 70 year old grandma's computer.

@@redstonemaster6264 who are you to make assumptions about my browsing habits? I've been working on and off in web development for 6 years now and i've seen many poorly maintained websites that had code injected into them.
As a hacker or scammer your goal is to get as many victims as possible, if you only focus on sketchy pirating or software sites you will infect fewer people. The sites you want to focus on are poorly maintained sites visited by a mostly older population, think of the webpage of the local church, the small flower shop at the street corner, or a small blog or the local paper/news channel.
These types of sites won't attract thousands of people, sure. But they are poorly maintained, and unsuspicious. I've seen websites that have been infected for multiple years before they got to me.
@@KM_OwO i'm sure you always open suspicious website that has a lot suspicious ads. And yes, your brain is needed to protect your PC. Just see 1980's era when antivirus still not exist. Its use brain instead antivirus.
@@dspcrepairs Using your brain helps avoid a lot of viruses true, but you'd be surprised how many mom and pop shop websites will give you a virus. I visit a lot of these because I like to support my local community, and about twice a month my antivirus catches a malicious download.

You do not need anything other than Windows Defender given that you practice some "Duh" rules, like don't download from random untrusted sights, don't click on popups and don't open random .exe's. If you don't think you can do that, you should probably get a Mac instead.

1. Avast and AVG's PUP tactics 2. Registry Cleaners 3. Why Opera is included in scareware 4. Thoughts about mobile optimizers 5. HowTo Basics for the computer illiterate
Freeware is actually different from free software if you cared about Linux for so long. Freeware means "free software even if proprietary code" while Free Software means "free software, and freely accessible, reusable and distributable source code".
Shareware is usually free and shareable software but oftentimes meant to be sold. Think of it as a demo or free trial, but almost all of the functionality is accessible (with or without a trial period).
Malware is a type of software that uses malicious code to wreak havoc to the end-user. While common in the early days, nowadays malwares usually targets much more well-known people (such as YouTubers and the RAT situation).
Scareware is self explanatory, it is software designed to use scare tactics to upsell an useless product or service.
Warez is a colloquial term for pirated software, i.e pirated games, cracked applications and the like. It was heavily used in the 80s to early 2000s (iirc) to mention the pirated software as well as the group behind the crack.

@@WackyAnimates kaspersky almost broke my computer last time because of false virus detecting and removing vital files Also you cannot uninstall kaspersky easily like other scam antivirus software it took me few days to completely remove it and it still pops out after removal because they store their program in a task file(i forgot the name of the file but it stores the tasks to be executed) and i ended up having to go into safe mode again and eradicate all kaspersky related files aside from this incident, kaspersky also slows down my computer by a ton and after i removed it, the loading speed of my computer noticeably increased i’ve also installed few antiviruses like avast back in the days and i’m confident to say they are all equally bad. In my opinion by being more aware and using window defenders already gives you enough security
The worst thing with Defender is the issues in performances with most computer, i have to completely disable it most of the time just run smoothly with my 6 years old laptop :')
@@WackyAnimates You're the main antivirus of your PC. If you know what you're downloading, and be extra-careful, using Virustotal, Windows defender and stuff, and watch out if the ID of the creator is ok, then... you're pretty safe.
If you download anything you find without any precautions, you're responsible.
How about kasperky Anti virus Idk if it was built in But it Saved my pic and got rid of a virus Corrupting all my fields completely turning by pic to black Thanks to that its okay now I still don't know if it was built in or not
Ah yes, these are the kinds of antiviruses which are bundled on ASUS and Lenovo. ASUS and Lenovo is literally bundled with McAfee. Not sure why HP also has McAfee too.
I swear if OEM's weren't partnered with McAfee they would've gone out of business a long time ago, it's not like they get enough third party sales, I bet most of their revenue is from OEM's.
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
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
@@xenon3404 It's considered as malware now. Remove it, and fucking never try to install it back or something, do a savestate of your computer rn, and yo'ure good
I always leave my stuff to Windows Defender and it has never let me down! I honestly think Windows 3rd party antiviruses are worthless cause your built in antivirus is as good as them in keeping track of your pc's safety and is not as bloated
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).
could you possibly do a video about free AVs that have turned into PUP's over the years? like AVG and Avast? I'm a huge fan of your channel, by the way and you were the one that inspired me to do computer science and applied IT at college
Avast is a pup? I've used it for years.. I haven't seen Them (I haven't used it in like 2 years since I realized windows defender is more than enough for me when I got my new pc)
Oh man AVG is so annoying. Keeps sending pop ups while i play robot arena 2 which crashes the game and it is a pain to resolve that game crashing. But my parents would hate it if I uninstalled it
@@T1MAGEDDON yea once I was downloading something and it had those you know recommendation things and I accidentally downloaded avast and it took me a year to uninstall cuz I was confused and I hate avast and pretty much every anti virus except windows defender
@@ImusingX yes, it keeps showing you garbage to scare you into buying it (stuff like showing a map of where you live saying how "aagh everyone can see this if you don't buy our antivirus" ) , it's awful
@@ImusingX yeah the free version gives loads of unnecessary popups now and it's just not needed and it attempts to make you pay for it. It behaves like a rogue tbh
bruh its the fake mcafee if you dont see, if your school uses mcafee then it should be the official one there's 100+ fake anti viruses that pretends to be the real ones.
Same my school chrome book said it had a virus and my iPad did too! And it was mcafee and I almost had a heart attack but after I found out about this I was happy I didn’t have a virus!
@@gmdking i use mcafee but it's actually pretty brilliant at protecting my pc and i havent really every gotten a notification from the app leaving the monthly scans but other than that it doesnt really seem like malware
I absolutely burst into laughter on the ransomware mimicker notification... It's sad, saying "no" to notifications should be default net behavior... but why this is legal and happily allowed by web browsers is beyond me..
Spamming someone with notifications costs barely anything at all. Not even a fraction of a cent. Even if only 0.01% of people actually click on it and buy the product, you can still turn a profit.
You do not need a high click per impression rate to turn a profit when the cost per impression is that low.
@@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.
"money" Ad revenue makes corporations a lot of money. Even if the ad is garbage/includes shit that is bad. Ahem google is the worse with it's ad sense. shit is used by practically everyone now days.
@@NebulaTheOfficial I also downloaded Avast "Free" Antivirus once. It was the worst antivirus I have ever seen. It told me to buy premium 24/7, used 100% ram and cpu, and completely fried my pc. I had to delete it immediately. And plus you probably use a older version of avast.
Idk what's with the avast free version slander I have used avast for my whole life (free) and I have never had an issue with it removing viruses or being "nagging"
I will just use Firefox and after I quit it shows a notification for me to put Kaspersky into Firefox even if I already have it.With chrome too. Only if you use the browser though.But after I saw this video better than McAfee
Norton used to be solid, but about a year ago I think, they redid the app and now it just spams messages saying to upgrade for pc optimization and crypto mining services and wierd stuff like that.
I used to use Norton Security from 2015-2020 and that's when I realized it slowed down my computer too much, forced me to pay more, and took a lot of disk space. Now I am using Trend Micro to see if it is any better and I am not likely to use an antivirus next year as I use another computer a lot and I am fine without an anti-virus on it.
ugh my first two laptops came preinstalled with norton and mcafee respectively, mcafee was the most annoying because it kept deleting oneshot's game files (yes, that included the exe) claiming they were malicious, it did this twice until i figured out it was mcafee's fault and disabled real time scanning
My dad discovered that McAfee on laptops is really impacting performance, and we NEVER installed it again. And Norton? It was good in 2000, but now now.
Note when you go to the purchase page there’s an affiliate ID in the URL. Could very well be a third party advertising their Affiliate URL through those fake popups just to get their cut of any sales.
I use Kaspersky and SuperAntiSpyware in combo on my system, both paid. McAfee and Avast did nothing but scare me with ads and refuse to block anything without premium payment. I like Kaspersky in particular because of how many parts it covers on a 3-system license, more than what Malwarebytes would save on a 1-pc license.
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
I remember my aunts computer having Norton many years ago, and it was so slow. I got my own some time after, and it had Norton too. I removed it and it became much faster. :D
God.. I have an "antivirus" on my computer called Segurazo or Santivirus. Idk how it got there I guess it came with the tablet but it does absolutely nothing. The actual windows defender doesn't do anything to get rid of it, and it doesn't let me uninstall cause "the files are locked and I must restart"
Hey, since you were infected with a malware it might show you mcafee to make you believe you are paying for mcafee, but instead it will actually take all your payment details and drain money
i like how the fake ransomware alert at 3:29 tells you "upgrade your antivirus to unlock your files" as if black hats would even outright tell you how to remove the malware that you installed
I'm still surprised how people still get virusses those days. I've been using Windows Defender for 4 years now without a single notification of some sus things going on my PC.
I sadly have Norton.. I know that its a scam but my father doesnt know that and is paying is it yearly to keep it running on our systems how do I tell him that its a scam?
Bruh you know what's insane? My grandparents, mother, and father use and pay for Norton. I told my mom I uninstalled Norton one day, and she was appalled at the idea. She asked me why, and I told her it's bullshit and anyone with half a brain can just use windows defender.
Heh what a coincidence My older cousin bought a gaming laptop this week and i checked his laptop to set it up then i looked at the bloatwares and it didn't seem like much but mcafee caught my eye and i told him that i don't trust any antivirus software and removed it
As someone with Norton I can confirm it’s a pain in the ass, they would repeatedly spam me with pop up’s and for no reason open a Microsoft edge tab to be their browser, I have chrome set as my default browser
I once got this on my laptop, when I wasn't experienced, and oh man, it was such a pain to get rid of. You just explain how to remove it in a few minutes! I feel bad...
i remember getting one of these and realized it was trying to get me to download something and disabled the notification, i didnt realize it was trying to get me to install mcafee, thought it was a virus. edit to clear things up cuz im an idiot: accidentally went to a site which told me to allow notifications, accidentally clicked yes like an idiot and didnt even get what i wanted, disabled the ads through some setting
Not just that, whenever I literally open a new Chrome window in my school laptop, there is a McAfee popup showing these useless antivirus information for my computer. I don't get why schools put this kind of trash, they are like when grandmas download a fake antivirus program without even realizing it. So this is why I use Malwarebytes and Avast only.
McAfee is actually a bloatware which uses too much pc resources. I caused problem in my laptop as it was pre-installed. Right click menu won't appear for 2-3 minutes after clicking it for first time after bootup. Took me 2-3 days to figure that McAfee was the culprit.
One time i had a dream where my trusty malwarebytes became a discount mcafee (no window styling or anything) I was scared because my greatest fear is my computer getting worst virus ever (im on mac) I had no idea what McAfee was.
I looked it up on google when i woke up from fear.
@@Cycles42 nah, I use external drives for anything important, and I have a little library of 7z archives when I haven’t played a game in a few months. Guess it might be unpacking it, but even just plain old mem checks are takin like 4 times as long
FOV - You do not have MacAfee nor Norton and it is obviously seen that the notification is from the browser's name, if you have fallen for this trick many times and continuously buying a new pc, they can stop notifications from every browser they have.
I have had only Norton on my pc's for many years, coupled with me being careful about scams, viruses and malware online (Thanks to my dad). I have never had fake browser notifications. And most importantly rarely got any viruses. I download a lot of stuff from the internet, whether it was Images, Videos, Games, Apps etc. I have never had Norton block anything without good reason. Whenever Norton would automatically delete some file(And inform me when doing so), it was reasonable suspicion, if I was sure the blocked or deleted file was safe, I would tell Norton to bring it back. I never got any fake notifications and I very rarely had even 1 virus in my system. I can say with confidence that I have not had viruses on my pc for at least 3-5 years. And even before that it was rare. And whenever I would get viruses back then, It was mostly due to my own inexperience. Judging from what I saw in this video, those pop up's were really close copies to the old Norton interface. Also I have never used McAfee, but I am pretty sure it is not supposed to have an identical interface to Norton with just replace logo and name. So that I feel like is a good indication that it is a 3rd party domain. I also noticed from the video that the supposed "pop up's" of the interfaces were centered and glued to the browser itself. Which tells me that its even less believable that it would be Norton. (Again I have no experience with McAfee so I cannot say anything about that.)
I know that this is an unpopular opinion and most people will probably disagree with me, however I felt like I had to share my experience.
My PC came with McAffe free for 1 month pre installed, It took me over an hour to start the PC the first time because I thought it froze because it constantly was loading on a black screen. it was the same after I installed the latest windows system updates to keep my PC up to date and it didn’t felt right. It was also the same if I just restarted my PC and it took sometimes half an hour to boot the system up. once my 1 month free subscription ended I just deleted McAfee from my PC and the computer changed completely in a good way. It felt like the program took some control over my system and it felt weird.
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
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
@@septercatyou really think a user needs to be a programmer, hacker, or advanced computer user to use linux No Absolutely not I in fact dont know much about how it works But it has no ads, its free, fast, and easy to use
Well it depends, any actually good hacker would like linux users, because using linux = being a programmer = you have few private files that may interset the hacker.
I'm malding if I see any antivirus on anyone's PC because I think that there's no good antivirus available because they're either a scam and bloat, or too aggressive to the point of breaking the whole windows install when removing malware
Free avast worse more false detections if you are a developer it will make your life hell by useless alerts blocking and more then does nothing to a real virus the antivirus gets your ip and uses it for useless notifications so you buy their vpn
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
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
@@Sakuraluna_ It is not free for me, you litterally have to pay them just to protect your stuff, fuck MalwareBytes, Avast, AVG... Just don't visit edgy or sketchy websites. That's it.
I think one of the school computers has scam ads. I seen few times that some Antivirus on my PC says that there is Spring offer for 1 hour. But it is Fall, not Spring, so it is very sus.
Widnows defender is a solid antivirus, it does not have a flashy UI but gets the job done, has little performance on the system, has great detection for malware and is absolutley free with your copy of windows. I don't see how a regular user could need something else besides windows defender and common sense.
@@ZERARCHIVE2023 what 200 to 600 Mb at most. I often find that it uses way less than all the other ones. far less that that garbage in this video. Also quit using chrome. Get a de-googled browser.
@@ZNEIC1 well, the only reason it's good is because the "average user" wouldn't even know how shitty it is for performance and it doesn't make you pay for that
@@shadesoftime you are really salty about other people choices on antivirus hahahaha even when in the video itself says windows defender is good for the average user and even shows proof of that.
@@ZNEIC1 or maybe you're a careless boy who just doesn't care to find that out. All of the stuff that I said was based on my long term experience with it
@@ZNEIC1 first. A GB of ram is a LOT. If a program takes so much up, it's useless bloat. If you disable it it will nag you for an eternity until either you turn it back on or it will turn on on its own. It's also really bad at detecting viruses but that's understandable since the only real putpose for that is to not let you activate your windows for free(the only files that it didn't even allow to stay on the hard drive were the activators)
@@ZERARCHIVE2023 hmmmmm, for me never uses more than a GB of ram and you can easily disable it and enable it whenever you want for as long as you want lol
It have flaws, like, eating your ram like candy bar all the freaking time, it's annoying, i want to be able to disable it permanently and reactivate it when i'm downloading stuff and all
I didn't watch the entire video, but the notification you got and showed here is a fake McAfee notification and is not pushed by them. Misleading video is misleading. I thought this would be something actually about the companies, not you turning on a ton of browser notifications from sketchy websites and being sent fake notifications.
First thing I do when I or anyone in my family gets a new laptop is uninstall McAffee. Actually, the first thing I do is tell it not to install McAffee in the first place. Then after it does it anyway I uninstall it.
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
They have some stupid "Safe search" extension. And it recently started forcing theyre crappy search engine. No easy way to remove it either. Norton deserves to go bankrupt tbh.
I used to have a problem with these warning popups sometime in xmastime when they suddenly started popping up. Just like here I got both "Norton" and "McAfee" (neither of which I had). As a temporary solution I just killed some suspicious processes in task manager to stop the pop-ups and after xmas purchased and installed F-Secure. No more annoying popups.
Because it never does. I’ve been using Norton for a while and it hasn’t caused me major trouble. Sure, Norton might not be the best antivirus, (which in theory it’s true ) only True claim that this dude stated is the fact that Norton takes up a good amount of your computers ram. Other than that, Norton should be safe. Also, those notifications were not even from the real websites. There’s something called scam, and this dude has probably never heard of it.
To anyone who's not experienced with tech reading this: Your Windows machine's inbuilt antivirus (Windows defender), combined with some precaution is all you need to be safe.
I use norton on the laptop i got two years ago because my mom insisted on it (read some top 10 site and went along with it). Though not as bad as what’s shown in the video, the only problems I’ve had with it was trying to boot up tower unite a few times, marking it as “unsafe”. Same thing happened when I downloaded duke3d and rednukem for redneck rampage. Instead if warning me it just straight up deleted the .exes despite being safe. Prolly gonna figure out how to change it once the subscription ends
It's so annoying when pc and laptops come with these pre installed because it always shows me advertisements that i have s virus just use windows security no ads and good secure experience!
The best antivirus is the human using the computer. I don't have any antivirus on my pc and the last time i had a virus was back on my old desktop that had windows 7. I killed the virus myself at the time because even though i used avast back then it didn't stop a malicious file from getting through. I had basically immediately turned off my pc and went into safe mode with command prompt and i used it to delete the virus which had tried to protect itself by giving itself certain permissions that are above admin but i knew how to take ownership. Also avast used to be good but it's basically adware now. Whenever i install windows fresh on a computer i always get google chrome and make sure to get ublock origin as well as disable notifications completely.
Havent watched the video yet, but I REALLY agree with the title. I am unfortunate that I have to use an HDD 6gb ram laptop with extremely slow speeds for anything I do, whether it be programming, gaming, or even browsing the web. Mccafee and all those other programs seem to be permanently active when I check the task manager when the laptop starts freezing up on simple tasks, and no matter how much I "End Task" the Mccafee processes, it does nothing or says "permission denied". And with my older desktop PC from around 2005, I get shockingly faster speeds than my much newer laptop, and it has no anti-virus other than the bare minimum Windows Defender software already built-in. I was led to believe it was these bad anti-virus apps and I was right, 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.
my pc came with McAfee i never got those pop up ads and it kinda did save me from from virus and links i clicked on now thats its expried can windows defender still protect me from viruses
Windows Defender is good enough unless you go to execute some sus exe on ur own free will. Windows Defender would actively search for viruses on ur PC and delete them even.
Norton is definitely a scam it always tells me there is something wrong with my computer and that i have to pay to know what is wrong and how to remove it.
App and fonctionnality : Norton : Get the f out of my ass : "r u sure you want me to stop r***ing your computer ? Y/N : uninstall that crap : you're golden
I just kind of blocked the pop-up ads on the family computer and I don't remember seeing them ever since. D The pop-ups didn't seem to block anything, though.
i used to use norton however when they started bs i got rid of it when they charged me over $200.00 for a renewal when i had a standerted $30.00 plan that was the final straw for me
This is a common misconception. There's this thing called "browser vulnerabilities", which could allow malware to infect you just by visiting a website. Of course, it's pretty rare, but you should have an anti-virus as your last line of defence (I say last line since you shouldn't rely 100% on an anti-virus to be safe)
Browser notifications are handy, but I feel that browsers should auto reject them until you manually want them, or be like brave where the default option is to only enable them until you close the browser
“We are blocking this program to keep you safe” the program was the game No Straight Roads. Is a bunch of robots dancing and saying sexy bad for a teenage girl?
About half a year ago I got my first pc, it was the old family pc that broke in back 2019. When I booted it up I found Avast, and what do ya know, McAfee. From that day onward, i'd get a window from McAfee telling me to turn on safe browsing or something. The pc crashed a few months ago and its cooling fans stopped spinning and by the smell i felt that day it was obvious something burnt in. But im sure it wasnt McAfees fault, rather just me running Roblox and Roblox on an android emulator at the same time.
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 Youtube. Then I remembered such a thing as Trojan viruses, leading me to never directly click on the notification.
damn google needs to implement some features that check all notifications websites want to send you before actually sending it you or just ban the websites from being loaded and provide an error
I once heard that a people paid a technician to reinstall windows to get rid of a "security" software which I would not name here, only to be installed again by the technician after a fresh windows install
i hate almost all of the antiviruses they dont do anything except for making your computer slower its been like 1 year and McAfee still says "your trial ended 400 days ago 🤓" i hate it it just randomly pops up thats what i call real a virus
i would argue that these could be people using the affiliate program(as i did notice the affiliate id in the url) to scare you into buying the antivirus software and could not be mcafee or norton themselves.
if I think again those mcafee and norton was absolutely pain in the as s. because you get the virus that was also created by the company that came from the application itself. how it suppose to help you even though you already buy the premium accounts and you still got your self infected by the virus again. formatting your pc was the last solution.
but again, it was just the journey from the old days.
I'm gonna be kinda honest, norton is a cashgrab company. You only get 4 extra features aside the regular antivirus. Extensions (Paid) Norton Utilities Ultimate, Norton 360 NordVPN Norton Password Manager (why is it £20) Norton Utilities Norton Safe Search 2GB Norton Safe Hard Drive. (Included) Those are all that I know.
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
I remember when we bought our Acer laptop, it has only 4GB of RAM that time and no ssd yet, but it was pre-installed by bloatware apps from Acer including Mcafee. It was so laggy and not responding at all. I reset the PC and it became smoother than before.
Mcafee is like a virus i didnt even know about Mcafee but one laptop had Mcafee and it gave me a notification saying i would get a bsod i was using a chromebook
Dude, when i say that i almost shat myself when i uninstalled mcafee, i mean it. Things were going smoothly until about like 98%. I'm not tech savvy, my parents aren't either. But when i saw that HUGE CMD tab pop-up appear while lots of text slid down it, I FROZE. No other uninstaller had that happen to me, EXCEPT MCAFEE FOR SOME REASON??? Also, those pop-ups that people talk about MOST DEFINETLY appeared for me. Frequently enough for me to get pissed and decide to uninstall it. Although, they never actually managed to get me. They were only nuisances tbh.
glad i stopped using those programs many years ago and just use a brain surfing the web and just roll out a quick malwarebytes scan once a while. Still going good never had any issues.
I got the real norton and its actually VERY safe. I dont get ads from chrome about it, only occasional ads ran by the legit app. Its very helpful. My mom got the subscription!
I would rather make my own anti-virus instead of running McAfee because modern anti-virus is terrible, and it takes away your money, anti-virus companies are dumb lol😂
Microsoft don't control what vendors install onto the hardware they sell. and vendors get a big push to include this garbage because more garbage+more money.
Thank you sooo much, i was watching a movie on a pirate website and that stupid screen with "oh no 5 virus" with loud ass beeping popped up and i shat my pants and turned my pc off, i can now remain calm, thank you sm
If you are receiving virus notifications from google chrome or any other web browsers, it is most probably not true. Go to the browser that is giving those notifications, go settings, there would or may be a website that has the notifications allowed, on. Block it and it shouldn't show the notifications again.
i get this to, it is really annoying whenever i open google chrome popping up saying "GET MCAFEE!!!!!" or "GET NORTON!!!!!" good thing i turned the notifications cause i dont wanna hear 1M notifications that i have to close and here the system sound every single time.
i was on my dads computer downloading The Final Countdown for my project on scratch and it got the YoUR Pc Is InFEctEd wItH 5 ViRoOseS i got scared and thought everything died but no its fake just to scare you. NEVER TRUST MCAFEE OR NORTON THEY TRY TO SCARE YOU
@@Cycles42 well my dad wrote a b-day card for me and i got the notification and i thought it would zablamo gone. but does it really find viruses or just try to scare you?
The probably funniest thing is that, if you have Windows 10 or later, you don't even need McAfee or Norton cus you literally have Windows Defender/Security preinstalled and it's actually good.
i never used it in the first place like im just using bored button and that fricking at pops up and scares the soul out of me like it's FORCING me to use it 😭😭
Tbh, I'm not sure how anti-virus even helps. If you're computer-illiterate enough to need one, you either won't install anything to begin with, or you'll get frustrated at it blocking a virus and make the virus run anyway instead of listening to the warning.
I swear McAfee is one of the most shit antivirus ever, I love how, it's 4th april right now, suddenly mcafee tells me I have 7 critical risky viruses, how lovely, oh, my thing expired 3rd of april even though I literally blocked it like a year ago? Pfff, oh and I have a discount that lasts 4 minutes so I better hurry huh? I'm a minor, I'm not even out of my first school yet, I have NO idea how to work with technology even I could see how fvcking bad that ad it. I remember being spammed with over 600 messages from it everyday, when I opened my laptop the pings exploded.
these ads have been happening a lot lately, i know they are fake, mainly because they come from google but they also say, "you have 5 viruses!" and then another ad comes saying there are 3. im not sure on how to get rid of the ads though.
is Mcaffe for browser safe im kinda scared now (I'm talking about the web advisor) I've been using it for a while and I haven't been getting any problems.
the antiviruses i use are windows antivirus and winrar built in antivirus if u have winrar and u open a download folder in winrar then there will be a new option at the top called antivirus
bro you earned a sub i hate mcafee i remember seeing a notfication i have 5 viruses clicked it sent me to that mcafee website than that beep sound scared the life out of me
EVERYONE HELP ME! So I need help, Everyone So my Dell pc, Windows 10 has Mcafee Livesafe, and it hasn’t been much of a problem. Today, I got a weird notification from apparently Microsoft Edge, as the notifications info says, Don’t worry, I didn’t click on it. Me and my mom ran the antivirus and it said it was all fine, but I’m still skeptical, I’m very good at making sure all the sites I click on are trustworthy and I don’t click on any adds on any that have them, even if they look like a normal add for a drink, cars, real adds for games, nothing like that. I don’t know how or why that notification appeared but I really hope I can solve things, and although I’ve searched up on Yt, and Google if the problem could be from Mcafee Livesafe, all the wanders are just either Mcafee, the normal one, is bad, or that Mcafee Livesafe is good and not bad like the other and sometimes confusing awnsers saying that they’re the same thing just different levels and upgrades of eachother. I hope what I’m describing makes sense, and i hope some of you try to help me, because I usually never get paid attention to in comments…. I am young, not telling my exact age, but I am very scared right now and I don’t want to do something bad to my computer :( Edit: I watched this video fully and looked a bit through the comments and it seems the way to solve my issue is to uninstall Mcafee Livesafe and just stay extra safe and use Windows Protection (the antivirus that is from the pc itself)
The best anti-virus is common sense. But the AV that your OS comes with is a close second. Windows defender doesn't get in your way and its not terrible.
When i buy my first laptop, the store guy asked me to pay more for the installation and he charge me $67 for 5 years mcafee subscription. So i paid without knowing anything that time 💀
i actually dont get any fake notifications on mcafee, just stuff like ''please enable real time security'' and i only use it because my dad got a 4 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION when he got a lenovo laptop for me back in 2019
Can someone please help me. I purchased norton for Windows but while installing I chose Android. I'm unable to switch. I'm not even able to contact them.
This is why my dad prefers Macintosch over Windows; according to his experience, it has internal antivirus so effective it doesn't need external 3rd party antivirus like Mcafee, Norton and F-Secure.
One of my older laptops became completely unusable because of McAfee, I wasn't able to do anything without a popup or my browser switching to McAfee and I couldn't open any games.
I remembered I got my laptop back in 2020 and there was McAfee on it and I decided to pay for full protection, worst mistake I’ve made in my life, I eventually removed it in 2021 and just use Windows Defender and now I used Kaspersky Antivirus Free
My mom has a laptop that had norton pre installed and she payed for it for a bit but when she stopped she kept asking me if there was a viris on her computer and I couldnt see one then I realized that norton was just telling her that.
tbh most anti viruses the second you install them, even on a fresh OS will pop up as "virus detected, you have 32 viruses and 1 bitcoin miner" looking especially at you malwarebytes
I remeber my grandparents computer getting over 100 of these and for people to do this to way less tech savy people is mesed up we need more people like you to help =)
Litterally you get a new PC with that sheet preinstalled and without downloading any files or going into any websites boom, suddenly 55k blocked dangers xD
I deleted it cuz of u thank you Enderman I also helped my friend get it off his computer and install Malwarebytes instead using the free version of that by antivirus still reliable plus you have Windows Defender I just use Windows Defender
I have mcafee (mc cafe) and it started to show I have 2spywares adware and a trojan. It also showed that important files are swapped. And everything is fine now, nothing happened (it was a mont ago)
No wonder why I get "emails" from either McAfee, or someone trying to impersonate it, trying to renew my subscription, using the word computer... when 90% on the time I am on my phone due to inability to access my PC
My computer updated 20h1 or 21h1 windows and it installed McAfee with it. I never shown notifications, it would usually just tell me to renew because my subscription ended, i just uninstalled it with no problems
Had to constantly Unplug my laptop every time those “virus alerts” are shoved in my face, dunno why I even had McAfee in the first place but once I had the chance, nope, sending McAfee to the boiler room of annoying shit
Imagine a hacker made a fake antivirus that looks real made a real protection but after some time you'll get hacked that's like a most genius way or if hackers hacks the antivirus
every time I get a new windows laptop every 5 years it always comes pre installed with LastPass and McAfee and I have tried getting a different type of laptop and nope that didn't work so every time I get one I have to spend 1 hour getting rid of the ads McAfee gives and mcafee
This has bad side also, if u get hundreds of fake antivirus notifications. It can delay the response to real threat. (Idk how its done or how it happens cuz i’ve never got one)
I remember when I found an old Toshiba laptop that has Windows XP service pack 1 installed and when it boots up, an antivirus program loads when on it, it says that its Nortan Antivirus 2004. I guess that antivirus wouldn't do any good with today's internet since its from 2004 so maybe a little old.
It seems that these browser notifications may contain affiliate links from individuals who create them. It is unlikely that Norton or McAfee would engage in such blatant scams. The people behind the links may be receiving payment from Norton and McAfee, knowingly or unknowingly, to promote their products. These companies may not be concerned about the source of the subscriber traffic, as long as they are making money.
One day I borrowed my brothers computer and then this pop ups by McAfee started appearing, I told my mum and my mum told my dad (It was probably a virus) Then I gave it to my brother since he had a test my mom was doing something to get in the test website and the pop ups kept appearing so my mum clicked on one of them and it started the scanning thing, then she shut down the computer, is my brothers computer safe?
I had Norton on a new laptop back years ago and when it came up for renewal it bugged me several times a day to several times per hour and started slowing down my laptop to the point where Norton became a virus itself. The fix I used was to delete it and any left over files off of my machine and installed Avast antivirus free on it and never had any problems after that. Got the odd notification here and there to upgrade to paid version but never slowed anything down on my laptop.
8:50 My dad is not an experienced one with PC stuff.(He was experienced with Windows XP. Experience declined without or with little practice) He accepts all browser notifications. I just cleaned all browser notifications off of his PC and mobile.
Hello, one of this popped up to me, than i opened Chrome and there was a Russian search engine. I scanned my computer with Malwarebytes, and i deleted the search engine. So am i safe?
i dont know why google doesn't block it if its bad like i know it has a option to block it or allow ads but what if somebody clicks shouldn't google check it and block it??????????
So misleading, Looks like you are showing a fake Mcaffee then telling people to not install Mcaffee based on that.. MAkes no sense. It may well be that it's better to not install mcaffee or norton but not based on your reasoning that makes no sense
My laptop has mcafee preinstalled and its REALLY, REALLY ANNOYING, it just popup an ad that covers a quarter of my screen saying I need to pay, the worst thing is that the close button does not work after like 20 or 30 seconds, and as I use my laptop mostly to play its very anoying because it just, takes the cursor out of the game and it just stop working on the game, and I cant uninstall it, does anyone knows hoy to uninstall this??
for me it has been working for fine since an year (NORTON 360 Deluxe edition)...... then, is it a virus?..... how will i know? it doesn't do like McAfree, it's an adware software, know it since a month!
Bitdefender Antivirus had a free non-intrusive, light-weight on the CPU, vigilant program that I used for years. However, infortunately it's being replaced with something that looks more live the worse choices with a bunch of features you don't need behind a paywall. Such a shame. I think I'm gonna uninstall it and just use Windows Defender.
I remember having Avast on my old pc constantly giving me alerts (ip apparently getting leaked, virus being on my pc etc) and i would be forced to get premium to fix a nonexistent problem, couldn't trick me though lol
if that happened to me (ton of notifications) my computer was going to be already broken, i mean, if i can rage dying on a easy obby only once and smash my keyboard in roblox then i can rage for that amount of notifications and smash/break my keyboard
ok my cousin litteraly saw a free mcafee premium ad which was a virus and he falled for it he maked me go crazy till i reinstalled his computer This is why u should be safe on the internet!
I remember having avast for 3 years. I downloaded it as a "fun" thing or something and I regretted that so much. I ended up having to delete it's files from the pc cause uninstalling didnt work and even then I had some trouble cause I had a virus that took my admin perms and to delete avast you need them. I found a work-around though. That system is bricked right now cause i caught a virus on my pc because of my low knowledge on the matter and it really ruined the system. Intense lag, text not rendering through the keyboard half of the time and internet access being restricted. After 1 hour or so it turned off my pc and didnt let me turn the system back on, so i was forced to make a brand new one (i was able to save the files i had from the other system though). Good to note is that i also had Some bitcoin mining viruses and probably atleast 1 variation of any virus you can think of except ransomware
Bought a brand new laptop £1,000. Nice high spec machine. Came with Norton pre installed, constantly saying computer infected even though I’d only viewed, eBay & YouTube online. I uninstalled the software & the pop up disappears. Norton is the biggest fraud going
Not to be rude or anything, but these aren't made by the company, they are made by a scammer who notifies you from those dodgy sites that ask to turn on notifications.
when i bought my newer laptop it had like three months free of mcafee installed by default and little dumb me decided to activate it. worst mistake someone could do if they’re paranoid of everything. it lasted me for a week until my dad told me that mcafee just sucks and its a scam so it made me relax a lot while uninstalling
I don't get the hate for browser notifications... every browser asks for each site if it may send you notifications and for some sites, I even want them. For the others I just.... don't allow them. No hussle there..
I got these ads a while ago after going to a website and being redirected to a website on a new tab so I went through browser settings to get rid of the ads since I knew it was fake. I mean who puts an image in their notification popup? All I did was get rid of notifications from the page and it stopped
McAfee keeps trying to get me to buy their antivirus protection with pop ups and i cant remove it for some reason. I use malwarebytes now but boy, that was hell
I remember buying a new laptop. Of course mcafee would piss the shit out of me telling me to buy their protection which caused me to switch to malware bytes which is better and way less of a beggar, or not a beggar at all.
I use McAfee and I love using it- Nothing happened to my computer except for my files- so I go to my file system, and edit some Minecraft files to make it better- I set the ownership to my account and now when I edit it, it ain't saving. it's saying that my account is not mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ but about McAfee. it's going great!
This happened to me like a bunch of adds I was so scared I did not Know anything about technology then but then a couple years later it just Stoped sending me adds I don’t know why they do this stuff like they are weird
I'm pretty sure I've seen notifications likes these. One time I enabled notifications on a site and then it stated spamming me with the you have a virus notifications. At first I was kind of scared thinking it was some virus but my antivirus and Microsoft defender said there was no threats in the system.
I got a brand new laptop in August/September 2021 and I got McAfee (Norton was pre-installed but I didn't use it). Not even 2 months later (about the time I upgraded to Windows 11) while I was on my laptop the fan just goes very loud. It is usually quiet so that was unusual. And no matter how many times I restarted it the same thing would happen. We took it to a repair shop and they tried something but it still did the same thing. Also now the laptop was slow. So yeah, idk if the antiviruses caused this or the Windows 11 update. I haven't been on my laptop since then so it might have changed.
I don't understand how people don't see through them. I only ever had one computer with anti-virus software in the 2000s and that computer was always fucked for no reason. Ever since I have never installed them and I have never had a problem.
Just use 2 factor authentication when you can and also use an old computer for porn and downloading mp3s/games. No worries and common sense.
my laptop came pre-installed with the McAfee it was shit. after the free trial or free purchase ran out. It sent me a text like Your computer is at risk. i really think the windows defender is kinda good.
ENDERMAN! I HAVE A VIDEO IDEA THAT YOU NEED TO DO! so you know the setup.exe in the windows installer? what if you ran the setup.exe within windows while it was already installed? i don't mean the one in the root of the drive, but the one in the sources folder.. it would make a good video!
I am a computer tech....I reinstall windows on computers I setup for people. One because getting rid of all the useless junk a manufacturer puts on a PC speeds them up and two... McAfee is harder to uninstall then windows is to reinstall
it also happend to me woth norton i pressed on the notification and it showd me i had 5 viruses and i was so worried that i bought. it worst mistake of my life
So I own Norton Security (bought) and I have to admit its not that bad in "defending" your pc. I once had malware installed cuz I was dumb and disabled Norton, but Norton found the virus and could remove it. But I wouldnt have expected Norton to support these kind of ads. Like they are a kinda good company but doing this isnt really good for their reputation.
I knew that most of these VPNS and anti viruses were *Sus*, as soon as people started sponsoring these websites, I knew its just over advertising compensates for garbage.
Like Old Dankpods Said, Big company make the worst crap
This video sends chills down my spine because I recently had this exact problem but I ended up clicking the pop up and some weird things have been happening on my computer. Like when I start up my computer and try and click on a tab the tab doesn’t open and my entire screen goes white and then goes back to normal? Is this a virus and will I have to reset my computer
Everyone is watching the video and i am here testing if my laptop can handle 2160p604k but tbh this was really helpfull cuz my brother always got one of these ads and his mom thought that he actually had virus in his computer and scolded him so badly but When i showed this to her she understood it was a scam and there was no virus in his computer
Right I had a issue with the pop up ads with Mcaffe and I hate antivirus stuff that have that issue on my dell pc I pressed a link by Dantdm on one of the Mod reviews I allowed requests and it said that exact one 1:53 I was devastated I don’t clearly understand at that moment in time my thinking is there’s not a virus it is making you pay I checked with windows antivirus and it was fine. After that I uninstalled Mcaffe. I’m probably going to file a report to it. Blocked the site I find it appluing how they are trying to make you pay for the FAKE virus to be removed I don’t trust a lot of programs that are built in disclosing the windows 1
Also please try rav antivirus I downloaded a file and after sometime i noticed rav antivirus was downloaded automatically and my pc is taking more ram than usual...
I have a computer from 2013 and it came pre-installed with McAfee 2012-2013 (no license lol) and the PC I use today is a 2007 gaming computer (it was literally made in 2007).
i rember the first time i got theese anoyying pop up adds and i got so scarered that there rlly was a malware on my pc so i showd my mom who is a computer engineer she said to ingore them and they where so anoyying and i rlly thought i was bout to get hacked and then one add popped up and i knew it was fake cause it said "ur credit card info has been leaked!" like boy i have no no credit card. so my dad helpd me uninstall it and im so happy thoose dumb pop up adds r gone
WAIT I HAVE HEARD THAT AGONIZING SOUND BEFORE AT 2:22
I have been trying to figure out what that noise was and to describe it, because the way I had it happen was strange.
Basically, couple years ago, I tried Fortnite for the first time in a year, (Pickle Rick for a timeframe) and I hit “play” in the lobby, my computer instantly slowed to a halt, things were flashing on and off up and down, black and white and blue, and sometimes green, and windows had the Win7 borders, I spammed Alt+F4 out of fear when the angry pained beeping started. (looked like a horror movie) I tried the power button, nothing. Held it, nothing. I had to switch off my POWER SUPPLY to end the pain my PC was in. I have no idea what caused it nor why it happened, only that it did and my PC seemed to sound like a bomb. It was the scariest thing that’s happened to me in relation to technology. I don’t have an antivirus except for Windows Defender, and (at the time) the stupid annoying Avast free version which I had tried disabling a lot before just removing it from my PC entirely. Now my PC never had problems like that before. I was so scared I uninstalled Fortnite, and didn’t use the Epic Launcher until recently, but that doesn’t matter. I didn’t have a virus when I did all the steps of checking, Malwarebytes, scanning through files to see if something was out of place, and nothing. It was bizarre and I to this day have no clue what happened. My only theory was an attempted hack/DDOS
@@olli7881 It’s the fbi malware that installs CSAM on your computer it probably succeeded and you need to reformat your hard drive for all of your devices as it’s a Java Trojan that executes on every device
I once got an adware on my brother’s outdated Mac (Idk if I got it myself) and malwarebytes fixed most of it. When I updated the Mac there was an official window from the os that showed me in my documents where was the virus, I got it removed and there was no adware, malwarebytes showed me always there was 1 item but it would always come back, wish in some way malwarebytes told me where the file was at least.. so now I stick to malwarebytes and reddit. Malwarebytes seems pretty trust worthy, what do you say enderman?
I use Bitdefender, no ads, no promotions etc. But best antivirus is yourself. Check what are you using and whic sites are you going. Never install suspicious stuff.
Thanks. I cried 1 time because there is an advertise showing again and again . When my dad goes out, It shows me porn ads. I was shocked and sad because of how bad it is. Finally, I block the website to never have it again.
It's odd you say Norton is no different than MacAfee when its MacAfee giving you this issue. On getting a new pc after having one die on me for outdated bios and windows still updating for 2 years after hp quietly locked bios updates, i immediately uninstalled the preinstalled MacAfee and turned-on windows defender. to my surprise the constant barrage of "you have x viruses" stopped instantaneously and after installing Norton, all I ever get is the occasional reminder to run a scan after a week or so. As for viruses on Norton I've gotten nothing because its being blocked before its even saved/downloaded which I have backchecked Nortons blacklist with friends and colleagues working in cyber security.
I remember when i once felt for an ad like that ("Your phone Is infected with malware!!1!1! You have 4:59 to install our shitty anti virus or your phone Will go brrrr")
Bro i just bought a laptop like a month ago and the laptop have norton anti virus but its just normal until like yesterday i keep getting "restart your computer to remove the risk" or something like that it keep saying this like each 20 mins is really annyoing and i saw your video and im now sure its a scam
I had one of these McAfee adds. and I am a McAfee user. One time I was checking out some stuff on google and I went to a site and MacAfee said it was safe. and the fake one said "this site is risky" and I was scared for a little bit but I researched it and saw that it was a spoof (fake).
Bro my computer got like 30 adwears i have no idea how they got there, likely my bros shenanigans, but i just ignore them and they dont APPEAR to do much, other then anoy my gameing
I use Norton And I haven't had any problems With files or anything It's enough just to be able to look at the links on the web pages Carefully and if you suspect that it has a virus So just leave the page Here's why Norton Blocks or thinks when loading mods To the game It is over sensitive to mods Mods often have files that are used in viruses as well That's why it thinks it's a virus And usually if you read HEUR So it's not sure if it's a virus And that file can then be sent To support and say that they will investigate it manually McAfee is complete crap again Advertises and claims otherwise
Im against it. I have no need for it. I have had zero problems with Virus since. Simple just deactivate it and some hours to do my work and taking a coffe on cafes and then go home when I find the solution to all my communication platforms.
Umm bro there is actually a problem in your pc I think it is infected with Adware (As the mcafee websites are fraud) I would suggest to backup your data and reset your pc as fast as possible !!
What sucks is when you install Acrobat Reader, it will also install McAfee. Of course I didn't want it, however when I went into Settings > Apps and tried to uninstall it, however it wouldn't. Not happy Adobe.
Laughing out loud at this. I have reached a point where I no longer need an anti-virus as anyone with a working brain should know where to actually download things without getting viruses
Be CAREFUL downloading Adobe.....anything Adobe. They snuck Mcafee past me on install, and I am usually great at stopping extra bloatware like that. I got so mad I tweeted a complaint on Adobes account. This isn't 1995. I don't need this kind of shit software anymore.
@@user-xf7mu7ub9d Good point!!!! Well, we live in the day and age of "you gotta pay" and subscription services. We gotta keep those processes and services running in the backround to make sure your software is legit. Not only will it cost you an arm and a leg, but it will cost you PC resources too. I guess billions wasnt enough for these software companies.
Yeah, I've also noticed that as soon as you install any of their programs, they keep running on background with multiple and useless processes while you're not even using those programs.
I used to use macafee and after a month it blocked YouTube like the i.t. teacher at my school and it also made my computer very slow so i uninstalled it
Bro I am using mobile and im trying to go to a specific website I have never downloaded mcafee in my life and never will because of this bc bro the pc version said I cannot go to the site and I do not even have a pc or never downloaded the pc version ever and still im on mobile
Well. Sadly i have to use norton. My dad bought and is buying subscribtions. I and my brother (that dosen't care about malware) is trying to tell my dad to switch to diffrent anty-virus. Norton works but it's not good and crashes when ever i use it. I NEED to use norton or he will find out on the website. I hate it. Of course when mcaffe is pre-installed i instant unistall it. it just bad
AVG FRee has its own issues. But it doesnt do garbage like this. and yoiu can uninstall it fine. I just spent 4 hours uninstalling mcaffe from my new laptop that thing is a virus while avg is near instant.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I GOT SO SCARED I HAD A VIRUS AND I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO IM ONLY NEW TO PLAYING ON LAPTOP AND PC AND THOUGHT I HAD 5 VIRUSES THANK YOU!!!!@
I had mcAfee on my old laptop and I had no idea how to remove it cuz I was like 10 My dumbass somehow knew it was adware immediately, just didn't know how to remove it so I had to deal w it. Thankfully I have a custom built PC now sooo I don't have to deal w it anymore yay
I don't get fake notifications or something but i got a new gaming laptop and it came preinstalled with McAfee and it bothers me that it came with it but I'm to lazy to uninstall it lol
Omg I got so scared while watching this vid on my tablet I heard a notification on my laptop and it was my McAfee actually finding viruses lmao. Btw it was the real McAfee as it opened my McAfee app
The same thing happend to me back probably a 2 weeks or 12 days ago but it showed the windows 10 icon and it looked legit but it was fake. I was using windows 11 back when that happened by the way and I still do.
bro when i first got my laptop there was a mcafee pop up saying that i had a virus i almost cried because i thought i had a real virus luckily it was just a pop up
Norton (2 year 10 user £40 ish) + malwarebytes (2 year 10 user £95) only buy malwarebytes it when it's at 60% or more off (have a nice link that seems to set the basket to 60% off)
thank you so much for telling us i was realy think about buying it becasue it scared me when it said a guy name tojan was hacking into my bank account or he got my info mation
@@roLegionnaireOfficial can't you see? its already seem fake because mcafee not doing announcements like that and also he already wrote under the where you can swtich to what time you want to watch it you can see that he wrote its a fake one + I have mcafee and it doesnt look like this. second why i have to prove you? you prove me that its a real one
Honestly I’ve been using Norton 360 and honestly it’s safe and good too use… better then stupid window defender and all the stupid free anti viruses out there… window defender wouldn’t even pick up I had a virus on my PC so I checked with Norton full PC scan and found it and resolved it… so… yeah
i hate norton this piece of shit wont let me download anything and it doesnt even let me to turn it off and the worst part is that i cant uninstall it bc my parents would get mad because they have to pay for that
Only funny business my nortan is is doing is maxing CPU when im away from my pc....... ps it came with my pc. And it came woth lifelock andsaid it found my id online... spooky
But it's a fake Antivirus website you shown on the video you don't have shown the real antivirus software download and also using norton antivirus 120 days 😂 you have opened a fake Antivirus scanner website and the real one you don't download
can you also make a video about trend micro? because i said i had hacker's keyboard(a app) and when someone saw it, he replied to install trend micro, but luckily, i just said "NO" because i had a app for hacking. whoever said to install trend micro was a dumb kid, i think
Shit ads, good software, comes free with some pcs (with a premium subscription). Free versions SUCK they tell you stuff that isn't even true, things you might not need, and overall shit
I had my not-so-computer-literate friend fall for such an antivirus. It was not a fake one, but was hard to remove from the pc. It did popup more ads to renew or upgrade the plan, not mentioning the disk/memory hog.
as a mcafee user(I use an omen pc) mcafee is the best, only when paid for that is since it boosts up app performance but you also can’t exclude folders but when not paid for get ready for infected pc counters and sale ads
I have pre-installed windows with this but when I want delete it from my files there is written something You don't have administrator permission. but im the administrator. What the hell is that. And i have 70 percent memory usage.
My laptop came with McAfee Livesafe, and let me tell you I had to uninstall that piece of shit within 2 hours of getting it because it was impossible to use Chrome without it blocking stuff that's completely safe, and just generally screwing with things. I am never installing that piece of shit again 🤢
What is this video? Thay are fake websites as you can see Mcafee and Norton look the same. I use Mcafee and it does not look like that or never looked like that and am happy with it, it does the job and am safe with it. Makeing video like this is waste of time and lieing.
When are you going to return to the good old videos, with the subtitles instead of voice? I mean sure it is cool to have voice but I don’t know, I feel that the ones with subtitles are more quick to watch..
Only good antivirus for detection out there is malware bytes! No adverts, no need for paying anything for amazing service. Detects more malware, backfires, spy ware etc. Than any other antivirus
I get why you let your virtual machine with this many malware applications, but at this point you're just better off reinstalling Windows, or better yet just switch to Linux and don't use Chrome. Most of these problems can be squarely attributed to Chrome and windows itself. Linux doesn't have this problem because software for the most part comes through repositories and which are maintained by people and which make sure that the repositories do not obtain viruses. Not to mention, it would be your, the user's fault if you were to add any form of malware based package on to your Linux distro. I know what the purpose is and I am sorry for mentioning what I have but it needs to be said. There are hundreds upon thousands of reasons why do not daily Drive Windows anymore, this is one of them.
@@CotyRiddle ok... it is 3am for me... I do NOT take it lightly to being called a linux "Fan Boy" ok?! I just prefer corprate companies not brieth down my neck when utilizing my computer. also, attacking a 3-week-old comment and expecting me to remember what it was about is kinda low for anyone, wouldn't you agree? if you had a problem with people like me, keep it to yourself. it is people like you that cause unnessicary stress and heartache in this world. now I will go to sleep and this conversation is over. good night fair asshole.
oh gawd a linux fan boy. you know windows only gets soo many viruses/adware/malware because it is used everywhere. There are bad actors in the linux world. And do say shit about mac. mac gets viruses too.
instead of using that shit antiviruses that gets u more viruses to pay more
use the antivirus from the settings in win. 10-11 it works perfectly u can quarantine or delete the viruses and u can also scan and take down ur firewall or put it back up
once norton and mcafee was apart of a vlc file bundle virus i got from my friend sending me a website riddled with viruses, not even joking.
if youre wondering why or how i got a virus my friend was giving me links to pirate adobe animate and sent me to a website called piratebay. accidentally downloaded a vlc exe file that had norton and these fake windows apps that kept trying to download random stuff. i shouldve trusted my gut and not downloaded or even go on that website. TL;DR - dont trust people sometimes
edit: if youre wondering what type of virus it was, i got redirected secretly in the background to another website and it downloaded these fake antiviruses and stuff trying to inject these other fake antiviruses like avast, norton, mcafee. it also downloaded this rsEngineSvc thing that was taking up a lot of cpu. it was crazy
I ended paying for two different subscriptions of McAfee because they said the first one didn’t exist. Later of course they admitted I had a subscription when I found the documentation. I am now paid up for about a year in advance but I have been unable to use the product because they are so unwilling to help me with the fact my phone number changed and when I log in it goes to the old number to text in and no matter how hard I try to get this fact corrected nothing I do can get it changed so I asked for a refund but they haven’t been able to help me with at either at customer support. They used to be great in customer support but I don’t know what happened - They did a big 180! I had much better service and support with direct emails with Total AV
If you get worried thinking your computer has “5 ViRuSeS” on it, use the windows defender, it’s built in and lets you know if you have any REAL viruses, and not fake ones
4:34 they spelled protected wrong that might be a big clue LUL Poretected is how they spelled it 🤣 would the actual company make that kind of spelling mistake this might be a actual scam LOL
for those who think that norton and mcafee are fake antiviruses, it is not a fake antivirus, some people could visited a malicious site that will show fake mcafee & northon pop-ups, so do not allow the website to show notifications if you allowed it, reset your browsing data or block notifications
One thing that I hated is that, it gave me an email saying my private information got exposed to the dark web, and they said they could help "control" it with me buying there crap.
I just told Norton i no longer want their service and a day later they have a pop up that takes almost the whole screen,i move to another window and before I can move they are a step ahead and they are already waiting for me me Norton sucks dog cock I wasn’t at porn I wasn’t at a deep wed or dark spot I was playing a game on a emulated game, yes the sites saying buy our crap we will protect you are the malware sites, bastards , im very new to computers even worse im very new to windows and have no idea what to do any that can help , please help
It sounds stupid but McAfee has actually crashed so many Computers 🖥 we had bought. We would buy a new computer ad McAfee To it just for our cpu to crash later. We believe McAfee is responsible because Every single time we purchased a new cpu and added McAfee because we thought it had To be done only to find out we were being played! Big time waiting money on computer after computer. We realized this virus blocker is purposely installed to actually crash computers So people will spend more money buying more new ones over and over.
my brother these are fake ads for a fake version of the anti virus the scammers use to rat your pc or some other stuff, i use norton lol its pretty good
I'm sure everyone by now recognizes McAfee as a virus pretending to be antivirus & the shitty thing is that it comes with all computers that run on Windows so unless you use Mac you have to instantly uninstall McAfee when you get a new computer. Norton is the second most iconic virus pretending to be antivirus.
MCafee is LITERALLY a virus it gives you adware, directs you to phishing websites when you click their ads, installs false things that sometimes are malware and spyware and trojans (trojan horses and normal trojans) etc
these ads are not *officially* mcafee themselves, rather they are 99% of the time dumb affiliate marketers for mcafee that have chosen to do these types of ad scams for a quick paycheck from mcafee, you DO NOT need to worry about mcafee. this is why they direct you to the real mcafee website so you can pay for it, THEY EARN MONEY PER PERSON THEY RECRUIT TO BUY MCAFEE. so they resort to scammy ways to do it edit: they have begun firing the people who do this
Antiviruses are scams. I use something called brain. Did you know that brain is free and it does the job. You can extend brains efficiency by using something called knowledge and awareness
my aunt believes everything norton says as gospel from our wifi is unsecure to someone hacking it to saying that her pc has a virus every few seconds. and the only reason she uses it is because a christian club she's part of told her its the best
Third party antivirus doesn't do anything except hog your resources and give you annoying/misleading popups CONSTANTLY. It literally IS the thing it claims to protect you against.
Why are people shocked its literally known antivirus programs were invented as a scam. McAfee was one who started it and he literally did it as a scam.
I stop using anti virus since 2005 except for company issued laptop and workstation. I mainly used default windows defender this days never bother installing any anti-virus some my past friends been installing pirated version of anti virus never really get their logic... installing compromised software into your computer. Just avoid downloading pirated softwares, and visiting porns and you're good to go.
So i dont know if im the only to think at this but why you cut your vid at 5:28 just to go to history and secondly these "fake antivirus ads" does not means that was exactly them that they did this it could be anyone example: i would like to scam people so ill make a ad and a fake mcafee website to make them think its official website but in real its just fraud or phishing and even a scan of mcafee does not look like norton as proof So i can tell norton and Mcafee does not do this 🙂🙃
Windows Defender and Malwarebytes are far better than those two useless programs. Stick with them. Avast can also go fuck themselves when it comes to their anti virus shit. Seriously you have to uninstall it the same way you would an OS! Revolting
McAfee Subscription : *expires McAfee : Your McAfee subscription had expired, we’re going to send nuclear bombs to ur house if you don’t activate it N O W
All antiviruses are useless and don't do anything that Windows Defender won't already do. If you are on Windows 10 or 11, you really do not need anything else. Antiviruses are a scare mongering scam. They are useless and hog your resources.
Practice safe computer use: don't download stuff from shady sites, don't open random .exe's, and you'll be fine. Windows Defender is the best solution. And it's free.

Nowadays only reliable antivirus is your own brain and experience. I have been using computers for more than 20 years everyday now. I remember getting a pretty bad scanner based malware once which resulted in me resetting my pc but after that i never got any malware. Just think twice before clicking download allow or install buttons. Read stuff throughly and dont trust pups.
I got an email from someone called themselves "Customer's Supporters". They said i purchased 360 Norton Pro and i haven't paid for it yet. Now they said i have 267$ in debt, even though in 20 years of my life, i didn't know Norton exists.
Norton came with my Acer PC. Never used; installed Avast, which gave me ads, loads of promotion ads, then uninstalled it because of a CHROME suggestion popup. I'm now with free MB and no remarkable checks so far.
used avast free for 5+ years, getting worse each year, keep offering the premium product, said i had 7 GB of junkfile, tried to convince me that browsing without VPN is a huge mistake. I finally vaporized avast product and get a kaspersky free, disable the auto startup, so i only launch it once a month for quick scan and update
These are actually affiliate links, basically some scum group of people create these scare ware ads, so people that don’t know better frantically buy Norton or mcafee, and as a result after you buy that crap, those scum group of people get some money for getting someone to buy their security suite with their affiliate links, this is really unfortunate and hopefully we can educate these people not to fall for this stuff. Anyways, screw McAfee and Norton.
hey bro i would like to tell u about this virus somebody tried to scam me from. ik their yt and what they scam with. some greenville script send u to a page. u download and then u open a notepad or an appplication and u get virus. u need to pay 5k Robux to get ur pc back so if u can showcase with the scam then please respond to my comment. thank you bye
i agree 50% with that because i'm not sure about McAfee, but i am sure with norton that norton is a solid antivirus software and gets rid of viruses easily, while also deleting stuff that could be viruses when you download them. thus, protecting you surely.
Ur new episodes are not great. Please make the previous ones with no voice and more about windows facts and C: U used to be my fav but now am getting bored of these fake av type of videos Pls make the ones you used to make before
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 ?

1 like@@redstonemaster6264 most viruses don't work on Linux as they are almost always targeting Windows users. Also most Linux software can be found in official repositories that are open source so the code is secure, safe, bugfixed and major security vulnerabilities that are disgustingly common on windows software are practically nonexistent. The same applies to the os and kernel as a whole. There are so many different distros and forks that every vulnerability imaginable has been patched by someone.
1 likeOverall Using Linux doesn't actively protect you from malware but it makes it much easier to avoid it as all the software you would ever need is available in a secure community checked way, major vulnerabilities are extremely rare comparatively with windows, and finally, most viruses are made for windows and simply won't run on Linux

It is a fine, open source antivirus intended originally for mail servers that doesn’t spam adverts everywhere (in part due to often running on systems without screens). On Windows, ClamWin (which provides a scanner for the user to use) and Clam Sentinel (for automatic use of said scanner) is enough for basic protection (if paired with the usual requirement of decent judgment, always using the download button that looks least like a download button, and keeping up to date).

I understand that a program suddenly having a crypto miner might be worrying to some but considering I actively use Norton and closely monitor my PC's performance, active programs and background tasks the people spouting this nonsense clearly aren't actual users of Norton or are clueless about how their PC's actually work.
19 likesYou realize Windows Defender is literally better ? Do you also realize that at some point Norton added a crypto mining tool into Norton, what happens is if you have the higher end subscription you can use it to mine crypto in a user friendly way and get money, cool right ? Well, maybe,won't say it's cool since that's so weird for an AV software, but whatever; the problem is that even if you don't have that subscription, for an unknown reason the crypto mining tool is installed anyway. And guess what since it's been added people have reported that Norton has been even more of a ressource hog than it was before, weird huh ?

0 likes@@gmdking Definitions:
0 likesFreeware is actually different from free software if you cared about Linux for so long. Freeware means "free software even if proprietary code" while Free Software means "free software, and freely accessible, reusable and distributable source code".
Shareware is usually free and shareable software but oftentimes meant to be sold. Think of it as a demo or free trial, but almost all of the functionality is accessible (with or without a trial period).
Malware is a type of software that uses malicious code to wreak havoc to the end-user. While common in the early days, nowadays malwares usually targets much more well-known people (such as YouTubers and the RAT situation).
Scareware is self explanatory, it is software designed to use scare tactics to upsell an useless product or service.
Warez is a colloquial term for pirated software, i.e pirated games, cracked applications and the like. It was heavily used in the 80s to early 2000s (iirc) to mention the pirated software as well as the group behind the crack.

Spamming someone with notifications costs barely anything at all. Not even a fraction of a cent. Even if only 0.01% of people actually click on it and buy the product, you can still turn a profit.
0 likesYou do not need a high click per impression rate to turn a profit when the cost per impression is that low.
@@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.

0 likesFOV - You do not have MacAfee nor Norton and it is obviously seen that the notification is from the browser's name, if you have fallen for this trick many times and continuously buying a new pc, they can stop notifications from every browser they have.
0 likesI am speaking purely from experience here.
1 likeI have had only Norton on my pc's for many years, coupled with me being careful about scams, viruses and malware online (Thanks to my dad). I have never had fake browser notifications. And most importantly rarely got any viruses. I download a lot of stuff from the internet, whether it was Images, Videos, Games, Apps etc. I have never had Norton block anything without good reason. Whenever Norton would automatically delete some file(And inform me when doing so), it was reasonable suspicion, if I was sure the blocked or deleted file was safe, I would tell Norton to bring it back. I never got any fake notifications and I very rarely had even 1 virus in my system. I can say with confidence that I have not had viruses on my pc for at least 3-5 years. And even before that it was rare. And whenever I would get viruses back then, It was mostly due to my own inexperience. Judging from what I saw in this video, those pop up's were really close copies to the old Norton interface. Also I have never used McAfee, but I am pretty sure it is not supposed to have an identical interface to Norton with just replace logo and name. So that I feel like is a good indication that it is a 3rd party domain. I also noticed from the video that the supposed "pop up's" of the interfaces were centered and glued to the browser itself. Which tells me that its even less believable that it would be Norton. (Again I have no experience with McAfee so I cannot say anything about that.)
I know that this is an unpopular opinion and most people will probably disagree with me, however I felt like I had to share my experience.

1 likeI use norton on the laptop i got two years ago because my mom insisted on it (read some top 10 site and went along with it).

Same thing happened when I downloaded duke3d and rednukem for redneck rampage. Instead if warning me it just straight up deleted the .exes despite being safe.

0 likeswhy did my laptop come with this "Antivirus"?
1 likeThe best antivirus is the human using the computer. I don't have any antivirus on my pc and the last time i had a virus was back on my old desktop that had windows 7. I killed the virus myself at the time because even though i used avast back then it didn't stop a malicious file from getting through. I had basically immediately turned off my pc and went into safe mode with command prompt and i used it to delete the virus which had tried to protect itself by giving itself certain permissions that are above admin but i knew how to take ownership. Also avast used to be good but it's basically adware now. Whenever i install windows fresh on a computer i always get google chrome and make sure to get ublock origin as well as disable notifications completely.
2 likesHavent watched the video yet, but I REALLY agree with the title. I am unfortunate that I have to use an HDD 6gb ram laptop with extremely slow speeds for anything I do, whether it be programming, gaming, or even browsing the web. Mccafee and all those other programs seem to be permanently active when I check the task manager when the laptop starts freezing up on simple tasks, and no matter how much I "End Task" the Mccafee processes, it does nothing or says "permission denied". And with my older desktop PC from around 2005, I get shockingly faster speeds than my much newer laptop, and it has no anti-virus other than the bare minimum Windows Defender software already built-in. I was led to believe it was these bad anti-virus apps and I was right, lol.

This is a common misconception. There's this thing called "browser vulnerabilities", which could allow malware to infect you just by visiting a website. Of course, it's pretty rare, but you should have an anti-virus as your last line of defence (I say last line since you shouldn't rely 100% on an anti-virus to be safe)

1 likeThe pc crashed a few months ago and its cooling fans stopped spinning and by the smell i felt that day it was obvious something burnt in.
But im sure it wasnt McAfees fault, rather just me running Roblox and Roblox on an android emulator at the same time.
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.

So my Dell pc, Windows 10 has Mcafee Livesafe, and it hasn’t been much of a problem.
Today, I got a weird notification from apparently Microsoft Edge, as the notifications info says, Don’t worry, I didn’t click on it.
Me and my mom ran the antivirus and it said it was all fine, but I’m still skeptical,
I’m very good at making sure all the sites I click on are trustworthy and I don’t click on any adds on any that have them, even if they look like a normal add for a drink, cars, real adds for games, nothing like that. I don’t know how or why that notification appeared but I really hope I can solve things, and although I’ve searched up on Yt, and Google if the problem could be from Mcafee Livesafe, all the wanders are just either Mcafee, the normal one, is bad, or that Mcafee Livesafe is good and not bad like the other and sometimes confusing awnsers saying that they’re the same thing just different levels and upgrades of eachother.
I hope what I’m describing makes sense, and i hope some of you try to help me, because I usually never get paid attention to in comments….
I am young, not telling my exact age, but I am very scared right now and I don’t want to do something bad to my computer :(
Edit: I watched this video fully and looked a bit through the comments and it seems the way to solve my issue is to uninstall Mcafee Livesafe and just stay extra safe and use Windows Protection (the antivirus that is from the pc itself)

0 likesWAIT I HAVE HEARD THAT AGONIZING SOUND BEFORE AT 2:22
0 likesI have been trying to figure out what that noise was and to describe it, because the way I had it happen was strange.
Basically, couple years ago, I tried Fortnite for the first time in a year, (Pickle Rick for a timeframe) and I hit “play” in the lobby, my computer instantly slowed to a halt, things were flashing on and off up and down, black and white and blue, and sometimes green, and windows had the Win7 borders, I spammed Alt+F4 out of fear when the angry pained beeping started. (looked like a horror movie)
I tried the power button, nothing. Held it, nothing. I had to switch off my POWER SUPPLY to end the pain my PC was in.
I have no idea what caused it nor why it happened, only that it did and my PC seemed to sound like a bomb. It was the scariest thing that’s happened to me in relation to technology. I don’t have an antivirus except for Windows Defender, and (at the time) the stupid annoying Avast free version which I had tried disabling a lot before just removing it from my PC entirely. Now my PC never had problems like that before. I was so scared I uninstalled Fortnite, and didn’t use the Epic Launcher until recently, but that doesn’t matter.
I didn’t have a virus when I did all the steps of checking, Malwarebytes, scanning through files to see if something was out of place, and nothing. It was bizarre and I to this day have no clue what happened. My only theory was an attempted hack/DDOS

It's odd you say Norton is no different than MacAfee when its MacAfee giving you this issue. On getting a new pc after having one die on me for outdated bios and windows still updating for 2 years after hp quietly locked bios updates, i immediately uninstalled the preinstalled MacAfee and turned-on windows defender. to my surprise the constant barrage of "you have x viruses" stopped instantaneously and after installing Norton, all I ever get is the occasional reminder to run a scan after a week or so. As for viruses on Norton I've gotten nothing because its being blocked before its even saved/downloaded which I have backchecked Nortons blacklist with friends and colleagues working in cyber security.

Not only will it cost you an arm and a leg, but it will cost you PC resources too. I guess billions wasnt enough for these software companies.
Yeah, I've also noticed that as soon as you install any of their programs, they keep running on background with multiple and useless processes while you're not even using those programs.

0 likesI get why you let your virtual machine with this many malware applications, but at this point you're just better off reinstalling Windows, or better yet just switch to Linux and don't use Chrome. Most of these problems can be squarely attributed to Chrome and windows itself. Linux doesn't have this problem because software for the most part comes through repositories and which are maintained by people and which make sure that the repositories do not obtain viruses. Not to mention, it would be your, the user's fault if you were to add any form of malware based package on to your Linux distro. I know what the purpose is and I am sorry for mentioning what I have but it needs to be said. There are hundreds upon thousands of reasons why do not daily Drive Windows anymore, this is one of them.

0 likesonce norton and mcafee was apart of a vlc file bundle virus i got from my friend sending me a website riddled with viruses, not even joking.
0 likesif youre wondering why or how i got a virus my friend was giving me links to pirate adobe animate and sent me to a website called piratebay. accidentally downloaded a vlc exe file that had norton and these fake windows apps that kept trying to download random stuff. i shouldve trusted my gut and not downloaded or even go on that website.
TL;DR - dont trust people sometimes
edit: if youre wondering what type of virus it was, i got redirected secretly in the background to another website and it downloaded these fake antiviruses and stuff trying to inject these other fake antiviruses like avast, norton, mcafee. it also downloaded this rsEngineSvc thing that was taking up a lot of cpu. it was crazy
I ended paying for two different subscriptions of McAfee because they said the first one didn’t exist. Later of course they admitted I had a subscription when I found the documentation. I am now paid up for about a year in advance but I have been unable to use the product because they are so unwilling to help me with the fact my phone number changed and when I log in it goes to the old number to text in and no matter how hard I try to get this fact corrected nothing I do can get it changed so I asked for a refund but they haven’t been able to help me with at either at customer support. They used to be great in customer support but I don’t know what happened - They did a big 180! I had much better service and support with direct emails with Total AV
