Today I am going to show you how malicious pop-ups infect your computer and scam you into buying of the largest cybersecurity vendors' products. It's repugnant how only 10 years after the Fake AV flood we have actual antimalware vendors scamming users into getting their product.
Still got questions? Don't hesitate, send them to contact@enderman.ch!
Hope you have a great day!

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 ?
malware bytes is pretty good but windows defender does the job just fine too so I don't really see any use on installing antivirus,, they can be pretty shady
@@warzone2620 no :lul
not buying the premium then :)

I seriously hate when laptops come pre-installed with these stuff. my cousin was so scared that "there was a malware in his computer" he drove like 2 hours for me to check it out. it was just one of those mcAfee ads
I think you can sue the PC seller for pre-installing this.
mine got pre-installed with those and i got an ad saying there is a malware going to implanted in my pc if i dont renew my subscription lmao
@Legosploiter if pre-installed software says that you have malware, when you clearly don't, without even checking, this is literally a fraud and "pure text" doesn't matter.
@Zacharia Ahmad it's easy to do yourself tbh, you can also just reinstall windows if you have a prebuilt
@@MikhaMikhin some android tablet vendors get away with pre installing adups fota (nasty spyware and package installer) like chumi or some other lesser known vendors
i was told from one of my tech teachers that MCAffe is harder to get rid of than actual malware.
and that was back when i had a crappy pc and MCAffe came with it, and it took abot 80% of the ''disc'' in task manager. he straight up laughed and cringing about how useless this program was.
anyway havent had that since.
Yeah there's literally tools to uninstall McAfee because sometimes uninstalling it the normal way fails or doesn't get rid of everything.
Your teacher is right. I used to have mcafee preinstalled and it's just straight up a virus. It won't let me update or uninstall. I have use the tool from their official site and other methods and it still failed. I need to use Revo uninstaller to force remove of all it files. It take me litteraly 6 months to completly uninstall it, I would rather be infected with a real virus than having mcafee preinstalled lol

Well, at least they're better at knowing when to stop than UA-cam.
I used to use Norton and my computer was slowed down to the point it could barely run Minecraft, took a few minutes to boot up, and it took at least 30 seconds to load up google chrome. Then I got a new computer and it took a bit less than 10 seconds to load google chrome, a minute or so to boot up, and Minecraft was not runnable because it ran at less than a frame per second.

@@HyperXeno It’s bloatware/adware. You get fake notifications like: YOUR COMPUTER HAS VIRUS RENEW SUBSCRIPTION NOW FOR NO VIRUS

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.
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.
Best notification though of McAfee: Your PC isn't *Poretected* !

The Chrome ad with the Edge logo KILLED me.
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.
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.

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’

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
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
ask them to give back your money and then cancel subscription, mcafee sucked since release
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
windows defender is as good as an irl window for keeping bad things out
Idk wut to trust now only Microsoft Defender :(
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
@Zacharia Ahmad Their investors. And a few idiots because our world never had a lack of those
I literally thought my laptop had 3 viruses, i am so thankful this dude exists.
This is very weird. I have had had McAfee on my computer for 2 years and this sort of thing has never happened to me.
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
Malwarebytes isn't free
@@sh_gosha6867 it is
@@plane3251 it's not
@@sh_gosha6867 it literally is, premium is paid
@@plane3251 it's only free on demand scanner.
Well, for anyone not wanting these popups: Turn off notifications!
But then you also don't get email or message notifications
or better yet, use adblocks
i normally use Windows Preinstalled Antivirus (not McAffe) in an Alienware. This is why you should trust Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes
Yep! Malwarebytes actually checks all of your files and see the PuPs, PuMs, and malware files!
I've been infected with norton, my labtop had it built into it so it was an absolute PAIN in the ass to get rid of.
Norton is good
God bless John McAffe
