Windows 7 Getting Viruses

[icanfix12]

Its because ie sucks

[ComputerGeek000]

@icanfix12 What browser do you suggest that won't let you download files? That is the only way viruses were installed in this video.

[Trevor1182]

Insert windows 7 disk, boot pc from cdrom, format C, install windows 7, problem solved

[korisnik098]

tnx for list of malware web sites! malwaredomainlist(DOT)com

[questionmark98]

what program did u use? was it parallel desktop?

[GeekHead1000]

@questionmark98 I think I used Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 for this, but if you are looking for a virtual machine host I suggest something more modern. I like VirtualBox and Microsoft Virtual PC is good. I avoid paying for a VM host because I can get quite a few for free, but things like VMWare do have extra features.

Extracting Please "Walt"...

[reggiedc1999]

NO FAIR!!! I DON'T GET GOOGLE TIPS ON MY WEB BROWSER!!!

[TechyWizard101]

lol look in the bottom right corner of the screen at the watermark.

Windows 7

Windows License is expired.

Build 7600

This copy of Windows is not genuine.

[GeekHead1000]

@TechyWizard101 Yup. That's because I didn't enter a product key when installing. (This is my other YouTube account because I'm too lazy to sign out and in.)

[MrKristo111]

nic vidi watch it all the time! its funny

[6Marshaline]

i remember that happened to me... IT WAS A DISASTER. but google chrome and firefox worked..

[questionmark98]

.bmp has virus?

[phantasm4499]

what is the music?

[TheDXDan]

cooooooooooooooool 

[theprincetariq]

I had like 3000 viruses on my PC before it drove me insane but luckily I have Kaspersky internet security 2012 and AVG and Microsoft esentials security 2011 and Panda cloud anti-virus,all of the 3000 viruses were removed hardly after 3 days of hard work even tho I had 4 STRONG ANTIVIRUSES fuuckit never try to download an un-known anti-virus from internet

[Arti575]

install AVG 2011 u can remove all of them :p it ur vid is true

[Anthestudios]

What the music, it's super awesome

[ComputerGeek000]

@Anthestudios Before asking what song is on a video please at least read the first page of comments. I have been asked what song is on this video about 4 times already.  It's called Symphony Extended from Musicshake. I did it from a YouTube AudioSwap.

Thanks for watching and commenting on my video. :)

[Anthestudios]

@ComputerGeek000 Thanks, every time i ask for the music i feel like such a nub xD I watched this vid for over 10 times and it never gets boring... Awezom :D

[Kevin198898]

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! your computer wont recover for this type of playing like this dude is doing it will take you weeks perhaps months too fix it!

[xeotech1]

@Kevin198898 Even a computer infected with 10,000 viruses would at most take seconds to fix. Zero-pass format the hard drive and re-flash the BIOS. Done.

[Matrixian21]

p.s Good video though.

[Ranna210]

what's the song?

[ComputerGeek000]

@Ranna210 Before asking what song is on a video please at least read the first page of comments. I have been asked what song is on this video about 3 times already. It's called Symphony Extended from Musicshake. I did it from a YouTube AudioSwap.

Thanks for watching and commenting on my video. :)

[Ranna210]

@ComputerGeek000 thanks for answer, but i speak russian and understand english!

[BellaRenesemeeedward]

Ok, now I'm super interested in getting a virtual machine. Any good ones that are free, or anything??

[GeekHead1000]

@BellaRenesemeeedward On Windows you can use the Windows Virtual PC. On Linux/Mac (and Windows) you can get VirtualBox. Both are free, but you need a copy of the OS you want to put in the VM. If you have an install disc for the OS you want then you can usually install without a product key and get a 30 day trial.

(I'm ComputerGeek000, but replying from my other account.)

[Ebohkintch]

got a virus. try to close the virus.

[nonci6]

what the song name

[GeekHead1000]

@nonci6 It's called Symphony Extended from Musicshake. I did it from a YouTube AudioSwap.

[nonci6]

@GeekHead1000 Thank You!

[yerfdog1935]

I hope you're using a virtual machine for that... o_O

[ComputerGeek000]

@yerfdog1935 Yup. I would only do that on a real PC if I were going to wipe the whole hard drive before doing anything with it. I can't remember if I did Virtual Box or Microsoft Hyper-V.

[oldunited360]

Norton antivirus FTW! ;)

BEST.. :D

[yerfdog1935]

@oldunited360 but... Norton is one of the worst...

[ComputerGeek000]

@oldunited360 I've found Norton to slow down computer a lot (and it's expensive if you don't get it free from your ISP). I've found Microsoft Security Essentials to only slightly slow down computers and it catches more than many of the other ones I've seen. And it's free.

[SYLperc]

avast kicks ass

[mistake0123456789]

music: Musicshake - Symphony Extended

[staticth1]

wow u got a virus jus for us youtubers wow very brave thx anyways

[FuIIOfFaiI]

I use Mozilla Firefox: No Script & Ad Block Plus add-ons,

plus AVG and Avast Antivirus softwares on Win 7 Ultimate.

-

This is a good combo.

[ComputerGeek000]

@FuIIOfFai I don't think the No Script add-on makes browsing much safer. It might block popups and a few other annoyances though. Ad blocking is good, that's where some malware hijacks websites to the fake antivirus websites (and ads are just plain annoying).

Usually having 2 antivirus programs will slow a computer down a lot more than the benefit it provides. I have heard Avast is good, but I have seen computers with purchased AVG with viruses that it didn't detect. I love Win 7 Ultimate:D

[yerfdog1935]

@FuIIOfFaiI Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes instead of the AVs you said. :P

Also:  Web of Trust so you can tell which sites people say are dangerous.

[benpreston123]

what will happen if you go and delete internet explorr and install a different one

[ComputerGeek000]

@benpreston123 I didn't think about that, but it's an interesting thought. Maybe when uninstalling it the virus would be removed from the settings and then when it gets reinstalled it wouldn't be reenabled.

[TheWindowsChannel]

@ComputerGeek000 That won't happen. Once you get a virus or any related object, it will embed itself in the major system files and try to block anything from accessing it by making the computer think it is a part of the essential system files or at least it's meant to be in there.

[ComputerGeek000]

@TheWindowsChannel That is true, but uninstalling and reinstalling Internet Explorer might--not likely though--remove the corrupt file and install a fresh copy.

[TheWindowsChannel]

@ComputerGeek000 I don't believe so, only because you can never truely remove Microsoft Internet Explorer from your PC, unless you are running the downloadable version of Internet Explorer 4.01 on a Mac. So if you do use Add/Remove Windows Features, Internet Explorer files are still permanantely embedded in you operating system. When you do re-enable it, the same files will be used, but it will act as a new copy.

[ComputerGeek000]

@TheWindowsChannel I think reinstalling Internet Explorer from the Add/Remove Windows Features would extract it from a cab file somewhere. I don't think a virus would modify a cab file for the people who reinstall IE, there are easier ways to remove viruses. But if the infected files are part of the TCP/IP DLL or another one like that then reinstalling IE would have no affect.

[TheWindowsChannel]

@ComputerGeek000 You're right, then maybe . . .

[xeotech1]

@ComputerGeek000 Dont fucking use IE.

[ComputerGeek000]

@xeotech1 Let me guess, you like Firefox? Why? IE9 is faster and blocks more malware than FF. That's facts, not opinions. I can't really argue about Chrome's speed because it is faster than IE9, but it still doesn't protect from viruses as well as IE.

[xeotech1]

@ComputerGeek000 Firefox + Adblock+ > Google Chrome + Adblock+ > IE9.

[ComputerGeek000]

@xeotech1 IE9 + hosts file for blocking ads > Chrome + Adblock or Firefox + Adblock

[xeotech1]

@ComputerGeek000 Spybot Search and Destroy hosts file blocking, cookie blocking and activex blocking + Firefox + Adblock+ UAC set to maximum > IE9 + Windows Defender

[ComputerGeek000]

@xeotech1 ActiveX blocking in Firefox? Do you know anything about web browsers?

[xeotech1]

@ComputerGeek000 Google ActiveX Killbit

[ComputerGeek000]

@xeotech1 "Killbit is a security feature in web browsers based on Microsoft's Trident engine (such as Internet Explorer) and other ActiveX containers that respect the killbit (such as Microsoft Office)." Firefox does not use ActiveX controls, that's why some people say it's safer because dumb people need to download exe files and run them, not just install an ActiveX. ActiveX blocking does nothing in Firefox.

[xeotech1]

@ComputerGeek000 A flag in the Windows Registry identifies a CLSID as unsafe. The CLSID acts as a serial number for the software in question — a GUID that must exist for each piece of software that behaves as an ActiveX control. If an ActiveX container finds that the CLSID of a killbit entry matches the CLSID of the software, the software is blocked from running in the ActiveX container. If a vendor wants to release an updated version then they release it with a different CLSID.

[xeotech1]

@ComputerGeek000 Spybot Search and Destroy hosts file blocking, cookie blocking and activex blocking + Firefox + Adblock+ UAC set to maximum > IE9 + Windows Defender

[Matrixian21]

@ComputerGeek000 IE's a joke and always will be.

[ComputerGeek000]

@Matrixian21 You are saying that from experience with IE6,7, and 8, but you refuse to give credit to IE9 that is completely different than the pervious versions. If it was released with a different name not associated with Microsoft then nobody would ever complain except for about 2 or 3 similar interface options.

[TheSonicHybrid]

song is brilliant!!

[iPodTechHelping]

Sorry it was really supposed to say song lol

[ComputerGeek000]

@iPodTechHelping Lol. It's called Symphony Extended from Musicshake. I did it from a YouTube AudioSwap, but it doesn't show the track name along with the artist for some reason.

[iPodTechHelping]

Wats the Sondheim called

[TheDXDan]

thnaks and bad luck

[tryllernc]

did u deleted all?

[ComputerGeek000]

@EBproduction1 As I already told Kirby23232323, none of the viruses were exploits of Internet Explorer, they were all manually downloaded and run or possibly Java exploits that work in every browser.

[xwxproductions1]

This copy of Windows is not genuine... LOLZ

[ComputerGeek000]

@xwxproductions1 Yup, that's what happens when Windows is installed without a product key.  The 30 day evaluation will constantly display that and after that time it will get even more annoying.

[omg2111]

Use Ctrl-Alt-Delete!!!!

[TheCBGamer]

Some money grabbing antivirus software:

"Your computer is infected with viruses, buy this premium version to get clean your computer"

[TheCBGamer]

Some antivirus programs: 'your computer is infected with viruses, pay for this premium version to remove them'

LOL

[LoyalHight]

LOL!

[dmcmLIVE]

worm.bagle.cp they must really be running out of ideas for fake viruses if their using foods as viruses

[xxx772255]

if google tips is telling you abuot general av, it means you had adware ;)

[TOTORIALSFOROLDPEEPS]

Was that part of the virus on the wallpaper it said this version of windows 7 is not genuine build 2000 ect.?

[ComputerGeek000]

@TOTORIALSFOROLDPEEPS That's actually there because I didn't enter a product key after installing. I don't know why it was only there after I rebooted. I think that message can be a sign of malware, but in this case it was just a missing product key.

[TOTORIALSFOROLDPEEPS]

@ComputerGeek000 okay thanks for telling me.

[TOTORIALSFOROLDPEEPS]

GOOGLE Tips yeah right!

[WoodCutKing]

java put malware on my pc once on thsi website cuz it wanted me to update java

malwarebytes + avg said hell no and booted that stuff off

next day i found out it was a fake alerting me of viruses trojan which is now gone

[dadeXxReachxX12]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE A DAMN INTERNET EXPLORER SHORTCUT STOP GOING TO SYSTEM TOOLS OVERR AND OVERR

[ComputerGeek000]

@dadeXxReachxX12 We're right here; there's no need to shout.

[dadeXxReachxX12]

@ComputerGeek000 Haha sorry It was just annoying seein every time it closed seein you press start system tools then internet explorer... :D haha

[ComputerGeek000]

@dadeXxReachxX12 It's actually Internet Explorer safe mode in the system tools. Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't actually think about that before you told me about it. :)

[dadeXxReachxX12]

@ComputerGeek000 Haha O ok I didn't know it was safe mode :P

[bassrph1]

I'm not sure, but was the malware closing your IE tabs when your were looking for an anti-virus?

[ComputerGeek000]

@bassrph1 For the first about 2 minutes it was closing every web page I would try to open. Around 6:00 I was closing the tabs myself because the malware was blocking access to websites with "malware" in their address.

[Kirby23232323]

YOU SHOULD USE FIREFOX NEXT TIME

[ComputerGeek000]

@Kirby23232323 I don't think any of the viruses shown in this video are exploits of Internet Explorer. All the viruses were from Java exploits or files that I downloaded and ran.

[HexoFire]

This is why i love SYSTEM RESTORE

[DavidRockin1]

lol awesome virus :)

smart virus

[coolbji]

lolz i hate when im on a webpage then it randomly switches to one the "antivirus ones" >:(

[Stupidideahead1]

google lied to you! omg!

[MsKiller500]

VirtualBox is free, and will run on almost any OS...

[ferrai360]
