i build and sell package and fix and other bullshit that comes with the jobs and make over 250 a year. and when i watch this you say malwarebytes i can fight with that i recommend that to my members always the best anti virus. Thumbs Up FAB !
my girl had a laptop and she took it to her ex's friends computer shop to check for a virus and she got it back with them saying your better off buying a new computer and she turned it on and it was fucked and she found out that someone had fucked with the motherboard or something shes got no more memory on their the laptop has nothing on it anyway but she still cant download anything what do you reckons happend
Good stuff. Thank you. Fortunately, none of the three programs found any threats on my machine. A couple ideas for a future video: What you recommend for a personal firewall and what you think of peerblock (blocks communication to/from lists of IP addresses of known spammers and malware sites).
Yep, once or twice a year you should pack up your computer and take it down to your local PC professional and let them rifle through all your personal data.... brahahahaha that's farkin hilarious.
If you can't manage firewall and antivirus on your PC ask your kids or grandkids to do it- not some stranger that says "Trust me I'm a professional". My local PC professional uses an unsecured WiFi that half the suburb war drives through on a regular basis.
Iv got a reeaaallllllyyyy annoying one, and it works like this.
When i go to open a link from google, it redirects me to another page, and then i have to go back to google, and open the original page again. I think this happened when i went to download Java Jdk a while back.. as i have a java jdk icon on my desktop, unable to be removed.. My virus protection doesnt even pick it up when i run scans.. Any ideas?
One thing i would recommend for everyone to do is search your computer and see if you have the virus "system32" if so, delete it immediately and restart your computer. You will see an immediate performance upgrade.
msconfig .... tyvm .... here's 1 keyboard shortcut everybody should get into their heads ... Windows / Pause Break will bring up Basic info about the computer including Device Manager where you can right click any device to get an update for the device from the net ... thnx FAB ... KISS me weekly with this stuff please .... there's a name for your updates... KISS something or other ...
Pete, got a video driver related problem that has had stumped for weeks "ati2dvag infinite loop". Seams to be fairly well known on many pages via google, but as of yet, found no reliable cure. It most often triggers, when a large load is put on the video chip side of things.
@stanmarsh14 I have an XP AMD AM2 based system, this problem has been going for much longer than before AMD brought out ATI, so I think it is an ATI issue. Short of setting fire to my rig, any ideas how to tackle this problem? Have even tried manualy installing drivers via Device Manager > Update Driver.
Yes do some more as not everyone is tech savvy, along with it being better to hear it in your terms. Nothing worse when salespeople / experts bombard you with terms only industry people might understand. Good one would be what should only be running when surfing net, best methods, and do things on taskbar/ desktop use power/ memory when just sitting there?
I'm sure I asked if you were going to do computer videos a while back, so I must be a little bit illiter...ilitorae....oh fuck, little bit stupid which is good as it means I have achieved something ..lol So people that say you can get a virus from toilets,door handles etc are all wrong..doctors?!
One anti-virus you never mentioned was Avast which is also free and has a 98.2% hit rate and has one anti virus software of the year numerous times. It also comes with alot of features like P2P protection, Phishing, Malware, Email etc protection built into one program and its database is updated daily.
great video FAB very informative!! make as many as yah like love all your stuff!! about a moth ago there was a virus runing around facebook sent to me as a video link from my nephew so called!! it went thru my coplete friend list sending itself i had'nt even been loged on for 2 days!! it was called " total pc protection 2010" popin up tryin to sell it to me!! A.V.G. found it & wiped it out thanx k.c.
You forgot that proven facts show that it isn't uncommon to get attacked randomly. If you read the research, the average unprotected computer is attacked within 50 seconds of connecting. So saying that it is mostly from emails or downloads is a little foolhardy.
Norton has a strikerate actually 86% and AVG is sitting at about 72%. You sir are over paid, and under skilled.
FAB, how would you suggest handling a keylogger? I'm sure you know this already but basically by keylogger I mean a program that watches what you type on your keyboard and uses that information to steal passwords and stuff. My mate has this problem now, he took his computer to a lan party and we think some smart arse there put it on or sent it to him without his knowledge. Anyways, any tips or advice on these sorts of viruses?
A word of advice re the previuous video, where you talked about your views being down:
If you're going to be posting "useful" videos (ones that might contain information that people might actually need, rather than just vlogs for entertainment purposes) you would do well to put in a more complete video description and tags. Only takes a few minutes. Certainly takes much less time than the filming, editing, uploading etc.
I usually type in the description & tags while the video is uploading (which probably takes longer over here because we have really pokey broadband), trying to think of all the search terms that people might use if they were looking for the information.
Even though I only have about 800 subs, the videos in my "101Ways to Make Fire" series are getting many thousands of views.
Because we don't have a partner program over here, I can't rely on any "most watched" lists etc. Most views are searches.
This video of yours is one of the most useful I have come across, simple advice, well explained, etc. even for the layman.
I'm sure that there are many thousands or even millions of people who would find the information useful.
If you put a bit more infor in the tags and description, you would help them to find it more easily.
You'll also find with these "informational" videos, if they are easy to find by searching, that the views keep coming long after the initial subscriber surge has passed.
I've found AVG to be the worst actually... MSSE (Microsoft freeware - not defender - MS Security Essentials). It's much like AVG but is even more light wait, lets me do what I want (I can easily disable it when need be). AVG was doing all sorts of fuckery on my systems, so I ditched it when MSSE came out. I haven't had any viruses for a long time to really compare, but it did find a heap of things on my father's system when I put it on over AVG.
No shit mate, Trend Micro just expired on my PC and i havent had time to get another one. So, today i was surfing and i got a few annoying pop-ups and my PC became sluggish. I knew i had a virus, earlier today but i couldnt do shit. So i asked my incredibly computer literate friend got me onto AVG (the free one). As soon as it finished installing it was like "you have a virus". Really good. I am not a computer-illiterate (i have a cert 3 in IT! haha) but i do look to him for advice.
MBAM, SAS are great and also use a thing called Rkill its great for stopping those fake antivirus programs from preventing the said programs from running
Keep em' coming FAB, loved the info vid with some good sound advice. Had to watch it wice (second time with a VB in hand). Great stuff. All the best from your neighbours in Kiwiland. Cheers. PS...The VB was to handle laughter control....nearly pissed meself, f******** hilarious mate, but great words of wisdom. Keep up the great vids FAB!
FAB, i have a question. I have AVG, and after numerous scans i have no virus. BUT after using my computer for about and hour and a half, it will start to freeze every 7 seconds for about 0.5 seconds.
Im considering just buying a new computer, annoying when im trying to work.
You don't have a sweet FUCKING clue what your talking about do you FAB! Ha,Ha just joking mate,hey what about porn sites I bet you get many different types of viruses from those don't ya,even ones that are painful don't go away! Take care buddy.
fab i got 2 nasty trojan virus's and a bloodhound one (couses porn to pop up) and my teacher who is a computer wizz whiped the memory and killed the virus and ive had no problem since
I love this. As a 10 yr. CATV technician, among many other things, I deal with customers who are having 'speed problems'. I catch a lot of undue shit because of things like this. I usually do the 'msconfig' thing, and then inform the customer about all those other things. I'm not supposed to tell them to download or install anything, or suggest a specific repair shop (wtf?), but I do. We throw business your way! ha!
thanks fab, you rock, youre always uploading stuff we can use in real life, like the how to knock a big man out video, useful in real life, I knew about spybot but had never heard of the other programs, thanks again and keepem comin
thank you so much FAB for this. you have helped me so much. thanks for going into great detail it really helped me to understand what exactly a virus does.
Also, I don't mean to be mean, but the shit that I've seen working in the I.T. industry.
I'd just leave this to the pros.........
People can be REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY stupid, as I'm sure you know.
Anyway, that's my opinion, I'll be off to tafe now :D
Also, should of mentioned RATs, and I might recommend getting Zonealarm, for the more tech savvy, get noscript for your browsers and a few other security programs.
We'll i'd love to see you do a video on the Australian internet censorship bill.. Would be interesting to see what you think about it! Great video fab.
so some sick fukcers sit down & write these deliberately, just for fun & to bugger some poor sods pci had 2 nasty viruses last year, had to go to a it shop & wipe my hard drive & start from scratch & i had norton 360 installed, this virus posed as a anti virus program, my laptop went ape, in the end it cost me £62 in the it shop, FUCKERS
A start menu folder doesn't cause the program to start at startup. It simply puts a folder in your programs menu which has a link to open the program lol.
Good vid, but you shouldn't be giving these tips out seeing as its now something that you are selling lol.
Remember the old days when you could just get a virus the old fashioned way... by earning it. ; )
I fix my friends computers as a hobby, if I see they have limewire, I tell them strait up I'm loosing it, don't like it, go pay someone to fix it... see what they tell ya. Most of them don't argue, if they do, than they're gonna pay for either the tech or a new computer... Told a few people, "I've been called worse by better than you" lol
The get it for free people can get nasty sometimes! ; )
I got one of those "windows antivirus software" viruses on a VM I set up on my computer... it was so aggressive I couldn't open a webpage without it shutting everything down and requesting credit card details. Very, very annoying, interferring and cleverly disgusted. I had to delete it manually. :)
Excellent vid... a bit long... but suuuch good advice in terms anyone can understand. Loved it!!! more more more!!!
the Hiren Boot CD has a stackload of tools for cleaning out computers, has all the applications you mentioned and a fuckton of other handy applications.
What you think of the free verison Spywareterminator?
I dont think its too shabby, but as you said i dont really worry about it, and wipe my comp every month or so..... for my comp, its like a shower after a camping trip! LOL
hey is avast any good beacuse thats what i have and i had a a virous whan i had nothing it said every thing was a virous or infected (such as google) and siad i had a key logger
This is awesome timing, by the way, since I literally just found out a few minutes ago that my friend got a virus on her computer, and I am going over to help her in a few minutes. I knew most of it, but good tips are good tips. :)
please make more but please dont spruke about what you earn as some of us are going hungry at times thanks to being pumped in the bum cheeks by over zealous bankers
@TheFatAussieBarstard ... (in reply to your message to the undergroundhobo).... taken the wrong way.... yep... may I suggest cutting down the internet budget in favour of feeding yourself? Sounds to ne that eating would be a higher priority than watchin Youtube vids, No? LMAO!
FAB, question related to music dls, wherre can I get ringtones for my tracfone? Btw, I don't mind paying for them, I just don't know where to get them.
i love how u know anti viruses dont do shit. tbh all u gotta do spreading a virus is crypt it with an FUD crypter and their goes any chance of an anti virus stopping u. most of its common sense
@TheMarkyMarkos IT Stands for information technology, so that just generally means they deal with computers, although they don't necessarily build and maintain them.
Oddly enough, I download music from torrents or direct downloads all the time, and yet I've never had a single virus on my computers, besides the ancient ones I downloaded with old 80s DOS programs that couldn't harm a fly at this point. Comodo Firewall + NOD32 (Avast! in the past); I've never had a problem. Malwarebytes works great too.
i honestly did not like most of your videos bc i subscribed from subscriber survivor but i actually really like this because I need better protection on my computer I have McAfee and its alerted me to a trojan (some of which are not trojans) I was wondering if you knew the best and safest place to get a computer cleaned??
@bukwurm16 ... go to Google and type in "PC Repair" and your town name. You should be able to come up with something on the first search page. Any IT person who can't get his name to show up on the first few pages of a google search probably isn't worth his cost. ;o) Good luck you ya! (If you are in or near Selden NY, give DJR Computing Services a shout, lol)
But when you install virus software with firewall. Then you have to remember to disable one of the two firewall. Activation of multiple firewalls will not have any effect.

I don't mind 'nerding' out with the customer, because, it really helps when the customer can be as specific as possible.
whisperingdoom 1 year ago
I love this. As a 10 yr. CATV technician, among many other things, I deal with customers who are having 'speed problems'. I catch a lot of undue shit because of things like this. I usually do the 'msconfig' thing, and then inform the customer about all those other things. I'm not supposed to tell them to download or install anything, or suggest a specific repair shop (wtf?), but I do. We throw business your way! ha!

Also, I don't mean to be mean, but the shit that I've seen working in the I.T. industry.
I'd just leave this to the pros.........
People can be REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY stupid, as I'm sure you know.
Anyway, that's my opinion, I'll be off to tafe now :D
Also, should of mentioned RATs, and I might recommend getting Zonealarm, for the more tech savvy, get noscript for your browsers and a few other security programs.

A start menu folder doesn't cause the program to start at startup. It simply puts a folder in your programs menu which has a link to open the program lol.
Good vid, but you shouldn't be giving these tips out seeing as its now something that you are selling lol.

Remember the old days when you could just get a virus the old fashioned way... by earning it. ; )
I fix my friends computers as a hobby, if I see they have limewire, I tell them strait up I'm loosing it, don't like it, go pay someone to fix it... see what they tell ya. Most of them don't argue, if they do, than they're gonna pay for either the tech or a new computer... Told a few people, "I've been called worse by better than you" lol
The get it for free people can get nasty sometimes! ; )

I got one of those "windows antivirus software" viruses on a VM I set up on my computer... it was so aggressive I couldn't open a webpage without it shutting everything down and requesting credit card details. Very, very annoying, interferring and cleverly disgusted. I had to delete it manually. :)
Excellent vid... a bit long... but suuuch good advice in terms anyone can understand. Loved it!!! more more more!!!

Oddly enough, I download music from torrents or direct downloads all the time, and yet I've never had a single virus on my computers, besides the ancient ones I downloaded with old 80s DOS programs that couldn't harm a fly at this point. Comodo Firewall + NOD32 (Avast! in the past); I've never had a problem. Malwarebytes works great too.
Oh and it's Kaspersky lol.
Btw, how'd you get into all this computer stuff?

TheFatAussieBarstard 1 year ago
@bukwurm16 ... go to Google and type in "PC Repair" and your town name. You should be able to come up with something on the first search page. Any IT person who can't get his name to show up on the first few pages of a google search probably isn't worth his cost. ;o) Good luck you ya!

This has been flagged as spam show
But when you install virus software with firewall. Then you have to remember to disable one of the two firewall. Activation of multiple firewalls will not have any effect.
