The one in the video is probably malware but even with non-malware cheats you still need to turn off antivirus for it to work. Because of the way cheats work false positives are very common
No , they will ban you if you are legit, invested hundreds of k on it.... and run a normal biz, but if you sell cheats, you are all green.... oh btw they ban accounts without warning or nothing like on youtube it all depends on the mood of the AI on that day.....
One of the biggest reasons why an adblocker is necessary. Yes, ads are annoying and blocking them has adverse effects on whatever service you are using. But the fact that there's malware in predatory ads is a big red flag.
Man, strange how this problem was recognized and solved decades ago by Linux package managers, almost like a majority of that malware wouldn't have even had the chance to get on a Linux system
@@hulduno, Google do someone cleaning to delete Fake malware ads, but only after they appeared, never before. Did you saw some of the mrbeast fake ads on ytb ? Same thing
Unfortunately as a software developer I can not say any AV are reputable. I am sick of the FALSE POSITIVES. AV don't even look for malicious code, they scan for non malicious binary strings of a malicious file so it is faster. this means many legit software get flagged and they make sales on false positives.
@@inadad8878 No. False positives are rare in most AV including Eset. Test results are readily available online such as AV-Comparatives, AV-Test, Virus Bulletin, etc.
The Internet, today, is STILL virtually 100% unregulated. They certainly opened the motherload of a can of worms when they released this onto the world.
2:01 You would think "Oh, that wasn't from Google search." But it was hosted on their adware platform... So... yes, their ToS may say they are not responsible. But it... is hosting on their website, violating their own ToS with weak enforcement.
This will never stop unless Google is held directly accountable for these malware links. Only then, when it really hurts in their wallet will this actually be fixed.
I downloaded vlc from Google search and windows didn't detect it. It was malware. I noticed the ssd light was on solid. I didn't have this problem after I installed mint on the same machine. Very fast too. Now it's got ublock, no script, etc. And im learning about linux too.
It depends on the browser you are using. I saw something recently that Google is working on a way to cripple/make non-functional existing adblockers in a future release of any Chromium based browser. I don't remember the details, but I believe it had to do with moving to a new version of some API. I also think it was intended to be released before the end of the year. I think, because it is not Chromium based, that Firefox was one browser mentioned that would not be affected.
@@wildbill4496 That's Manifest V3. And yes, Firefox is immune because it is not Chromium based. The entire point of Google's implementation of V3 is to remove adblockers like on their Android browser (and again, Firefox on android does allow addons including adblockers). I'm sure adblockers will (if they havne't already) find a way around V3, but Google's priorities should be very clear and I would not suggest a Chromium based browser to anyone.
So my takeaway from this video is, I will never ever ever ever remove my ad blocker. I don't think often about it, but man there are endless ads loaded with all kinds of treats.
US isn't the really scary one though, demented president gona be replaced by a moronic one, while they continue on their downward spiral while China is using it to steer all business towards them so they can sell you more cheap junk that ends up in landfill in a year or two, and is propping up putlerstan who is waving nukes around if you don't buy oil/gas from them so they can build more tanks to invade "brotherly" nations
It's all common sense. And who ever clicks on the sponsored results? They are clearly marked and almost never contain the information you're looking for.
These ads for malware are usually targeted toward those without technology literacy (kids and the elderly, for example), hence the fake download buttons and false promise of game cheats. Most, if not all, people that would click these types of links lack an understanding of computer safety practices, and that's what the people creating these virus and malware downloads are counting on. If they can trick someone into clicking a fake link, they can reasonably trick them into downloading and running malware as well.
The Google feature that allows you to sync your browsers was made to repeatedly infect your browsers with PUPs that hijack you search engine. Not turning off my antivirus.
Not really related, but I just managed to un-roll my PC from organization in my old school where I went to during COVID. We had a work from home and my PC was the part of the organization. The antivirus was managed for the school, disabling a few of the functions.
And now how would it be with the security kept untouched? Which most people probably have with Win10 and 11. It even has a ransomware protection of some kind. Best set up a standard user account with UAC up to the max or go with Linux where you have to add password for every more serious action to take. By default even browsers don't have execution privileges.
One the second download, the file size is different, from 400K to 4.2M, that should alert people. Also, the full screen installer had a close cross on the top right (barelly visible I agree) but it's a typical location for closing application. Now, your scenario is not very realistic, because a normie would be using the default browser and not Firefox. (I don't know if it would help in that situation though) It would have been helpful to show on wallpaper cave that the download link is an ad by showing the little blue icons in the top right of the ad, so people understand to NOT click on it.
I bet you can do that same thing in pretty much every browser currently in existent. However this brings to mind some thng i noticed recently that i think helps illustrate your point Leo. For alot of people above the contacts list on the right side of facebook there are usually 1 or 2 sponsored Ad's. It seems some folks have clicked on them an they turn out to be malware. So that's just how easy it is to get infected apparently!
thank you for the vid always educational and on point it does make me wonder can an info stealer obtain your info if you are not logged in and how easy is it to bypass 2FA
It would be great if you make a part 2 talking about how possible it is to get malware using a web browser **without** downloading anything as I originally thought that's what this video was about. I do realize it might be a more advanced topic though.
That depends on your definition of downloading, does adding a browser extension count as downloading? If so then unless you are being hunted by governments and keep everything up to date its extremely unlikely, nigh impossible to get malware from a web browser without downloading anything. To get malware without downloading anything requires a zero day vulnerability worth many millions. Such vulnerabilities are not used on normal every day people.
Omg never thinked google was so filled up with malware,im using basically my windows xp vm 8 hours a day with a really outdated version of malwarebytes,i hope im ok
Why are you running an xp vm? Is your pc not strong enough for windows 10/11? Why the vm? If money is the issue you can use win 10/11 without paying, you’ll just have a watermark on your screen. If you don’t have any software restrictions, linux runs better on old hardware than modern windows versions. Linux mint is very simple and has a layout similar to windows.
@@mestrebimbashouse he's using a VM, which has NAT. Even routers have built-in firewall which is also NAT.

There's no problem using XP today.
those ads before the actual result that give unsafe websites are so stupid and its the primary reason that i am slowly switching to brave if google doesnt care about preventing mistakes to happen because of a fake ad then i can only imagine stuff that i cant see are
@@oohahhi do use ublobk but the fact that they even allow this stuff to just appear on top and scam ppl is ridiculous and makes me not trust them anymore
Can you commonly get viruses from sketchy websites/popup ads if you never run an executable? I run ublock origin and have windows defender enabled with smart app control enabled
As a home pc user, I don't ever use remote access. Will it be safer - if I should accidentally download malware - to turn off all Windows settings/services relating to remote access?
If you get malware the best thing to do is remove your internet connection and turn off the PC immediately, make a install USB using a second computer and completely wipe your C drive before reinstalling Windows.
Those settings might help if someone or something on the network is trying to access your PC remotely to do malicious things (though there are other ways to do that as well, so it's not a guarantee). They won't protect against anything malicious you download and run since it's already on your computer and can handle giving the attackers remote access itself.
Corporations need to stop fighting adblockers if they allow ads that are literal malware links. Even if they don't knowingly allow it, malware ads getting through at all is unacceptable and proof that the average home user should view adblockers as a necessity.

1. Yes 2. If you use hacks,trainers,pirated games, etc you will most likely (90%) of the times have a malware BUT its not to steal your info but to actually crack the game/hack the game you are trying to do. Its common knowledge in this scene, there are bad authors of course so you should normally go thru the most trusted sources during your search (this doesn't mean a reputable source could go rogue or bad in the future like its happened before)

As someone who do tech support, I can say: you would not believe what people a falling for. Older people these days are afraid of AI cloning the voice of their grand child to scam them on the phone.

A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU ... I NOTICE YOUR 3D MOTION BACKGROUND, IS THIS STRICTLY YOURS, OR WOULD THERE BE ONES LIKE THIS SEARCHABLE ON THE INTERNET? HOPE YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING.
Ive been looking into alot of antimalware programs, but I cant make up my mind what to use. What antimalware would you reccomend for day to day work and gaming?
If you're running Windows 10 or 11, you don't really need anything more than Windows Defender. Generally speaking, as long as you keep the virus definitions fully up to date, and know not to click on suspicious links or download any potentially dangerous files, you should be fine. Prior to Windows 10, it was usually necessary to install a separate anti-malware software, but Windows Defender has become functional enough that having another anti-malware running can actually just slow down your system, rather than be of any help.
@@pacicidal Windows defennder is fine if you use your brain, but most people don't. I would recommend getting DefenderUI to make windows defender not easy to bypass and actually able to catch basic ransomware, its not an AV it configures settings that already exist in defender but for some unknown reason are not accessible from its UI. In the modern day AV programs do not impact your system in any notable way unless you are running a manual scan (This channel has a vid testing the performance impact). If you wanna get a third party AV then look at the tests on this channel and decide.
I feel much safer not because I use Linux... But because I use Ublock Origin. Yes, I know the Internet is large financed by add, but many of those ads are malicious and it's just good security to block them, regardless of the OS. If Google don't want people to use adblockers, perhaps they should vet the ads better, or at least make so if you search for a specific product then the first thing that appear will be the link to that products website, and not an ad.
In CIS countries UA-cam (by Google) literally SPAMS the video ads of a certain chemical drugs Darknet marketplace, regardless of the ad preferences in user settings. Russia is OK though due to YT disabled the ads along with the monetization for Russian IP's
I mainly use Linux, but whenever I play games it's on windows. I get all my software from winget. It's so much safer, as Google is practically shoving malware in your face
Yes WallpaperCave is a problem because they allow these malicious ads. They only care to exploit their users for advertising revenue, even if it's at the cost of their computer security.
Bing lists downloads for official sites as a big download button upon a search so the odds are dramatically lowered. Getting ads before the official site is a problem. Quality has really taken a second place on all engines but google is especially bad. Try to search any basic question, you no longer get answers like you used to, you get ai articles filled with ads
I was not ready for the turn off anti virus tutorial.

The lesson learned in this video is:
Just use a adblocker
A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU ... I NOTICE YOUR 3D MOTION BACKGROUND, IS THIS STRICTLY YOURS, OR WOULD THERE BE ONES LIKE THIS SEARCHABLE ON THE INTERNET? HOPE YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING.
Ive been looking into alot of antimalware programs, but I cant make up my mind what to use. What antimalware would you reccomend for day to day work and gaming?
If you're running Windows 10 or 11, you don't really need anything more than Windows Defender. Generally speaking, as long as you keep the virus definitions fully up to date, and know not to click on suspicious links or download any potentially dangerous files, you should be fine.
Prior to Windows 10, it was usually necessary to install a separate anti-malware software, but Windows Defender has become functional enough that having another anti-malware running can actually just slow down your system, rather than be of any help.
@@pacicidal Windows defennder is fine if you use your brain, but most people don't. I would recommend getting DefenderUI to make windows defender not easy to bypass and actually able to catch basic ransomware, its not an AV it configures settings that already exist in defender but for some unknown reason are not accessible from its UI. In the modern day AV programs do not impact your system in any notable way unless you are running a manual scan (This channel has a vid testing the performance impact).
If you wanna get a third party AV then look at the tests on this channel and decide.

I don't use google for important things for this reason, and Chrome trying to kill addblocks
Based on my experience, Chrome is dangerous. It can force to control your PC. I don't use Chrome anymore now, instead I use Brave. Much much safer.
Which VM program do you use?
avoid ads get a AD BLOCKER. turn it off on channels you support.
Never see another AD, pop up
Ad blocker FTW
I feel much safer not because I use Linux... But because I use Ublock Origin. Yes, I know the Internet is large financed by add, but many of those ads are malicious and it's just good security to block them, regardless of the OS.
If Google don't want people to use adblockers, perhaps they should vet the ads better, or at least make so if you search for a specific product then the first thing that appear will be the link to that products website, and not an ad.
thats why you should use adblockers
In CIS countries UA-cam (by Google) literally SPAMS the video ads of a certain chemical drugs Darknet marketplace, regardless of the ad preferences in user settings.
Russia is OK though due to YT disabled the ads along with the monetization for Russian IP's
That's wild
Advertising should be opt in instead of opt out. It's very purpose is manipulation with it's information.
I use ublock origin. I hope it's safe to use.
I just question peoples action when using a computer lol
I once took down a fake OBS site that was hosted in france
God I love this channel.
Can you try using Brave browser?
I mainly use Linux, but whenever I play games it's on windows. I get all my software from winget. It's so much safer, as Google is practically shoving malware in your face
Damn...thats really going to put a dent on the search I was thinking about earlier. "Big Booty Redheads With Long Hair And Small Waists". 😖
I don't know why i watched this video. I have a mac i don't need safety but i still love it
me who uses brave search: i have no weakness 🗿🍷
If you have an Online Profile, you do have a weakness.

@@uniacafe its true
You're the weakness

Thats why use Linux on VM.Esspecialy browsing Tor

Why only Google? You can do this with more engines plus wallpaper cave itself isn’t a problem
Because Google is the most used compared with other engines
Yes WallpaperCave is a problem because they allow these malicious ads. They only care to exploit their users for advertising revenue, even if it's at the cost of their computer security.
Bing lists downloads for official sites as a big download button upon a search so the odds are dramatically lowered. Getting ads before the official site is a problem. Quality has really taken a second place on all engines but google is especially bad. Try to search any basic question, you no longer get answers like you used to, you get ai articles filled with ads
yes, it is a problem because it does not regulate the ads
All I meant to say is that it surely isn’t only a Google problem
i hope he did this video in a virtual machine
Nah, he does it bare metal connected to his personal network and has shared folders
video quality is very bad even with 1080p on my smartphone.
maybe 1440p could be useful?
Nice
And this is why on the eighth day God invented the adblocker.
So if it has a password its malware?
bro i have nothing they still spying on me WTF?
"How easy is it to get malware from google - if your iq is room temperature, youre a boomer with most technology knowhow is rotary phones
So how to know the website is legit?
