This virus was one of the most obnoxious ones I've ever tried to record for a video. This is the result of my descent into madness versus Caw.
this is one of the first videos where I really tried tweaking and adjusting the color balances throughout. For whatever reason, the Red Blocks background looked great on the phone camera and when I recorded it, but whenever I played it back on my PC the blocks were pale shades of orange instead of the vibrant reds they should be. Hopefully I didn't screw it all up. If you actually read this, give yourself a pat on the back, you rock. - Наука та технологія
That "illegal operation" error was the only thing that ever happened while using '98. I don't miss it beyond the aesthetic.
Used to be so scared of it as a kid. Didn't know what it meant by "illegal."
@@cyberparrot It happens in ME too. As a 3/4 year old back then I just clicked ok, confused by why it is doing that.
When I read "iillegal" the first time, I thought the police was gonna show up at my destination any time.
@@KatyaAbc575 Yeeep same!
Small Tip: in Second Edition, you can run "System File Checker" if you open system information in the system programs tab in the start menu. it scans the important files in your system and restores them to installation state. very useful.
You know that episode will be great if you have to "help" the virus to activate the payloads
You can't even be mad that your PC crashed when it makes this sound when booting
I prefer the DOS machine's bootup sound.
@@PhoenixClank Wasn't it just a beep?
@@MartinDerTolle The seek test on the Packard Bell
totally agreed best intro sound
Nah i prefer aawagga
Good old Windows 95, half of the issues presented in this video are not the virus' fault, just Windows 95's.
I swear Windows 95 will corrupt itself if you just look at it wrong.
yeah but dat intro sound tho..i replaced the abysmal win 98 intro sound with 95 one
@@VectraQS I once wanted to recover a file from the trash bin... Whole OS gone 🤷♂️
Why do you think it sounds bad?
@@Zontar82, abysmal? That was the sound of my childhood along with 2000/Me and XP.
It’s always such a pleasure to hear your voice. Could you start being the narrator for most audiobooks? I bet sales would skyrocket.
"Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare. But first, the seek test. Cause I like ya."
Or radio program which intro is the seek test
@@tuplaluusto It's probably be the best narrator voice to include in Windows too! "Seek test completed successfully. No corrupted files found!" And maybe in DISM utility? (C)Aw mang!

Sometimes I like to visualize Dan poking the virus with a stick, trying to get it to do it’s payload.
“Come on, do something”
thats a meme!
To quote the words of a wise man, "viruses are assholes". The system instability this causes is almost worse than the file deletion lol
True
@@gloy the comment 3 weeks ago, the reply 3 days ago, wow both 3's!...
The Caw virus has 2 variants, one is a infected copy of Pbrush & infected copy of Notepad
bro thats true
14:03 I love the heavy metal cover of the bootup sound
The seek test?
@@gabrielleeliseo6062 That and the beeps
Man, as much as you normally use Windows 98 for Win9x-based stuff, it’s awesome to see Windows 95 be used. Sure 98 is better in every way, but there’s such a nostalgic charm about 95, to me, that makes me prefer it over 98/SE.
As it turns out, I initially tested this on 98. All the stuff was the same, but instead of freezing with the green bar on top of the screen, the computer tended to BSOD and then either return to windows normally or freeze after that.
But the nail in the coffin was the custom file extension deletion wouldn’t work in 98, but did work in 95, so 95 it was.
I wouldn't say it was better in *every* way. 95 had a cleaner interface, no stupid IE integration and it used less system resources.
@@cyberparrot speaking of which, you know of a way to make 98 looks like 95 ?
@@Zontar82 Yes! Look up an old program called "98lite"
God I love that boot sound, brings me way back.
I just left a very similar comment to yours and we have very similar profile pics. I think the matrix is breaking
101k more subs and Dan can unlock the "errorK" sub milestone
404, Subs aren't found
as cool as that would be, this channel's growth has slowed down pretty tremendously over the past year and a half or so. at current rates that would take about 14 years, so if we're all still hanging out when I'm 45 we'll celebrate.
@@danooct1 Already been here for 12, what's another 14? :)
@@danooct1 I'll be around! Always glad to see another video go up, excited for the next one!
@@danooct1 Since you're uploading regularly again it wouldn't surprise me if the channel's growth sees a nice increase!
“we can make do without calculator- we don’t need it, it was holding us back”
i’m . genuinely obsessed with your videos always have been. these are so fun to watch and!! very interesting!!!
I love the caption "Windows 95 greets us once more, oblivious to its fate". I love Windows 95 and I wish modern operating systems aimed for a similar aesthetic.
Agreed! So much more user friendly.
Thank you for always having accurate closed captions on your videos! It makes it so much easier for me to follow along. I appreciate you taking the extra time to do that!
PS: I liked the video! Thank you for the seek test!
Second this! Infinitely better than auto-generated captions.
Yes! Many youtubers don't even bother, which sucks because relaying on automatic transcripts can be hell
Ah yes, I miss those days of the boot sector sounds and good ol' Windows 9x. Such a warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling.
I really like the closed caption work on this video, it's awesome lmao. Great additional comedy to this already ridiculous virus + Win95 combo.
Dan: tries to destroy Windows with a virus to make a video
also Dan: tries to prevent Windows from destroying itself before the virus destroys it for video
that's basically just old windows
I'm so happy Dan is actually uploading frequently again.
I really enjoyed the video, the audio, and the combined video & audio of this experience
Great to hear from you again John! Glad you’ve stuck around, hope you and yours are doing well.
@@danooct1 Hey Dan! Your videos have been a beacon of continuity and comfort through a metric ton of changes that happen in life! I’m stay-at-home dadding now, hopefully your work/study/life is feeling well-balanced?
@@johnandmegh ghey, your simping comments are crindge
I love the "uh oh" and the pure sadness in their voice, I feel so bad that the person couldn't show us their resumé
This one is definitely a nightmare, even if i don't know what is worse between testing it or it's payload.
That "old disk utility" error looks really, really old. It's probably in the code from before 3.1 ...
There is an error in Win 7 (not sure if still on 10) that's from 3.1...which is ancient. It pops up if you run some EXE files from Windows versions before Win 3.1 . The exact same one pops up in 3.1, so I know it's that old...it's strange to see Windows 7 going _hey, this file is for Windows versions older than 3.1, sure you wanna continue?_ 😂😂
Maybe this one is still somewhere in the code, but it'd be really hard to get
Tried running some programs from before 3.1 on Windows 10, and it just says "This app can't run on your PC". So it seems to be gone now
@@luqdude 3.1 applications are 16-bit. if you try to run it on a 64-bit machine you would see that message. same in windows 8 and 8.1. you could however use a 32-bit system or OTVDM/NTVDM on 64-bit systems to run 16-bit applications
I used to love Windows 7 when it first came out... I have never ever seen that. LOL... that's freaking awesome.
I laughed so hard when you couldn't reset the timer of the virus because of the virus
The "take care :)" end makes me always smile. Your videos are so really well made. I watch you since I was 14. Now i'm 18 if you are asking me. You are amazing! Great job :D
2:18 notice how the score in solitaire is -$52. Is that the virus screwing with the executable, or is it just some regular bug?
if you play solitaire with "vegas scoring" and cumulative score, you can go into the negative. According to Dan, the only correct way to play solitaire is vegas scoring, 3 card draw with cumulative scoring.
And when the world needed him the most, he returned.
Ahaha, love what you do with the subtitles. Thanks for the extra entertainment for someone watching with really low volume at night.
I had no idea you were adding subtitles until a little while ago but they're a joy to read along with the content!
Great stuff, as always!
Treating subtitles as an extra layer of content is a good way to make your vids even more entertaining while keeping that retro-minimalistic (aka low effort) vibe.
So great to see your videos once again, that warm red Windows 95 wallpaper really brought me back, and along with seeing the wacky virus in action I get a really cozy feeling of nostalgia and curiosity that few other channels can give me. Thank you very much for this!
02:34 Payloads
06:29 Bitmap Files
08:48 Notepad
13:47 Restart
I still remember Win95. Even 3.11, and before that UNIX (without mouse). DOS I did not use.
4:12
if you look in the middle of notepad at this time, you can see text that says "input for function. Result..." I dont know if this is actually some kind of preset but it's pretty interesting.
Thanks for making these videos btw. They're really interesting and satisfying.
That's just text for the calculator program (it's calc.exe after all). Those are probably for error messages like "Invalid input for function", "Result of function is undefined" or however they went.
@@OrangeShellGaming Oh, gotcha!
I read the message and i'll let you know Dan that I loved the video, I love your work and i'm a huge fan of your content, keep up the splendid work :D
Dat CRT scanline, doe. (Also, dat résumé.)
I kept playing the Nintendo Wii's "crash sound" in my head every time you crashed your computer.
This virus feels like a blind minesweeper. Open the wrong exe and you'll crash your PC
I love your videos, always makes me happy to see you upload
i like this insight into the video-making process. you've mentioned several times how annoying it is to get some of these to work and it's l funny, yet cool to see some of that in action.
Hmm, youtube re-recommended this video after the latest video where Caw was absolutely the main character-
nice
Loving your videos! The humor in the subtitles is great.
Its relaxing to watch these virus videos.
Love it when you're happy seeing the virus works
Danooct1:Now I'm in control.
C:/AW: Seriously?
Danooct1: Now, execute order .ini.
What an excellent video!
That's the fastest run of Scandisk I've ever seen. Is this machine equipped with some sort of solid state drive? I have recently taken to running CF cards in some of my older machines.
later realization: this is the Pentium 4 Gateway, isn't it.
Could be an mSATA to IDE adapter
it's actually a Pentium II, but it's designed for Windows 98 and has a larger hard drive, so I just went with the 2GB max partition that FAT16 can see under Windows 95.
@@danooct1 is it brand new IDE HDD or a solid state drive (like CF or mSATA)
@@danooct1 I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up. I think Gateway's name change -- dropping the "2000" -- took place sometime in the PII era, so I was expecting one of the newer machines.
@@KylesDigitalLab It sounds like a larger hard drive, particularly a Seagate. Definitely sounds like a hard drive in the machine, but I assume either the original one died or wasn't very large. The original drive in that machine would make much more noise. Both of the original hard drives in my Windows 95 machines are still working great, although as expected pleasingly loud. One has a dreaded Quantum though.
Always love hearing the seek test in these vids haha, really glad to see more uploads!
It's been a while makes me happy to see another video from you!
Classic malware videos are always awesome, Dan. Thank you for the content
Thank you Dan for your content, I really enjoy it!
Lovin' the frequent updates Dano!
Love these uploads, thanks Dan
i really liked the video! always do. my first PC was only a Windows XP, though i do remember some slightly older OS's from being an even younger kid. i've said it before, but on that PC is when i started binge watching your videos (and rougeamp) which ultimately led to me getting my I.T. degree. your passion helped inspire mine!!!
been loving these new uploads! keep it up Dan! o7
So grateful to have regular uploads again. Thanks a lot. ❤️
Glad to see you on the recommended after a couple years
0:48 the keyboard sounds like a clock ticking fast. I love this video.
The captions are always so funny. And I loved the video :D
Great video as always! Always love your stuff!
"Yes, yes, yes, yes… no-uh-oh".
The beginning of Dan's Gateway Curse
Your poetic subtitle comments are always appreciated. Thanks for your hard work!
the reds looks great in the video btw! you did a good job :3
idk why I always enjoy your voice. I've always wanted to hear you narrate the book "worm". you should read it anyways, but youre vocal take on it would be awesome
Great video, man! Love your content! ❤️
It's the first virus that runs like any other program on Windows 95
I remember watching your videos when i was so sick and i couldnt get out of bed, and my mom bought me some mnm chocolate. Great times
i remember we had to go to the computer store on Dec.31, 1999 to get the new computer, it was a Pentium 3 500Mhz, with 64mb or 128mb of RAM i think, Sound Blaster Live, Voodoo3 3000 AGP, a 13gb hard disk, a cd writer. It ran for many years on a 250W power supply, i think i had this computer for like 6 years, i had to change the CPU fan on it, the power supply, changed the Voodoo3 for a Geforce2, added a DVD drive, and i think i maxed the RAM on it with 3 x 256mb PC133 sticks, changed the power supply too, because for some reasons, it was acting up like everytime i was cold-booting it, it was opening a drive door (this stopped when i changed power supply). The board i had was very limited in CPU upgrades, i think the maximum was a Pentium 3 550Mhz on it, so...it wasn't worth upgrading. I ran Windows 98SE for the longest time, and when i got my Athlon64 in early 2006, it was Windows XP SP2.
But i never got this virus, AFAIK, but i think i did got a few viruses, like one that make your cursor go crazy and makes you do weird stuff, or also one that doesn't let you open My Computer the intended way. I also remember a virus, if it's one, that wouldn't let me shut down my computer the intended way as well, i had to use a command line, so i made a Batch file and put on the desktop, so i won't have to type it everytime.
I really appreciate your subtitles awesome job
Me encantan tus videos. Sobre todo los subtitulos!!
Espero ver mas videos como este :)
that transition at 1:56 was smooth
Thanks, Dan. Your video will make me feel better.
Caw... The only virus to fail a task successfully... Can't use your pc if it's corrupted.
I liked the additional commentary on the subtitles, nice addition
this one was unruly lmao!! thanks for the upload!
We can see the amount of editing by the moving scanlines of the CRT hehe
Really nice background, teeny bit straining on the eyes but it looks cool.
danooct1: *opens calc*
pc: *dies*
I really like when viruses have odd programming behaviors like this, where you can open/change files to alter its behavior
the captions everytime windows boots up are really funny! 😆
i know what youtuber im going to binge watch tonight.
Insane person: *makes a file called AW in the root of the c drive and uses notepad to write “.*” in it than runs a program that was infected with caw*
hi me from 9 months ago
that's one way to wipe the drive
hi me from 2 years ago
(and also me from 1 year ago)
I love the voice, but I can't live without the captions. 10/10 seek tests.
Excellent video as always
"How about calculator?"
More like... CAWculator? Am I rite?
...
I'll see myself out.
Oh shit, a danooct1 upload? Yeeeee
I’ve wanted a old computer for a while but this is better.
I love how windows 95 was just "you can try, but ill never be down HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAH" and just didnt die even when you tried
And here I thought that I'd never see regular uploads from danoct1. Guess I'm eating crow eh?
Dan, I think the reason the red blocks became oranger is because the camera uses a different color profile compared to the PC!
BABE WAKE UP NEW DANOOCT1 VIDEO DROPPED
The captions are a nice touch
I like how thoroughly excited Dan sounds throughout this video xddd
This one is the most ARG of all the videos. I'm still awaiting the camera to pull back away from the screen when we hear a knock at the door.
This is my favorite virus because i love ravens!
"hey look its back just kidding its gone" MADE ME WHEEZING
Love you Dan!
will you be covering any of newer malwares on here? It'd always be interesting to see something new!
We love you subtitles) just to know)
Thanks for the CC!
