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.....
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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

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.
I don't understand why Google will just allow you to advertise your website, with no thorough inspection just as long as you pay for the service you can have your site at the front of the page. If they want people to stop using adblockers so badly then maybe they should consider changing their ad policy first.
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

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.

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.
Could you please make a video telling whether Davinci Resolve is safe or not? I know it's a well known video editing software, but when I installed it kept on asking me to bypass windows firewall. I need a video editing software and Davinci is the cheapest compared to Premier or Final cut. But I don't want any malware on my PC. So, it would be really helpful to me if you can tell me whether it's safe to use or not. I've already done a full scan using malwarebytes and it didn't find any malware on my PC after installing Davinci Resolve Studio. But if you confirm it, then I can rest assured.
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.
Dear The PC Security Channel Team, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable information you provide.

mostly kids are prone to malware for example i remember when i was like 8 and well adult fake notifications popped up because i downloaded something bad
The 2nd example is kind of stupid. Why, because you're not clicking on something for the wallpaper itself...just an ad for some zip utility. Why would anyone want to click on something unrelated to the wallpaper that they are going for? On the bottom you have another for that same possible zip utility. The same file size anyway. On the top you have London store ad. How about showing us the whole page and how some 'ads' might trick us to think we're download what we want. I personally don't see how clicking on a Zipmate ad is going to get the wallpaper.

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.
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.
The problem is: theres thousands of malware videos and clickbait bs videos , but what do i do when i already am infected? What to do when shit in on my neck already? Malware is everywhere, what to do if my machine infected ? How to know im safe again? How to proceed? 0 clues. If a ramsomware appeared on my screen (even if it was a prank one) i would just look at the screen and cry. I have 25 years old and i have 0 clue on what to do
I use adblocker to make site less bad. The logical solution to make people disable adblock is make the site less bad by default Instead they double down or even triple down.
20 years ago i was a complete pc noob , once my buddy asked me to download this old cartoon ost , surprisingly it was an .exe file once installed it disappeared taking down with it the Av and windows task manger , i learned my lesson the hard way !
I remember when I first got a laptop I got a lot of viruses from downloading games and free video editing software sine I didn't know better at the time, wish someone taught instead of me learning the hard way.
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.
Generally if you don't notice anything suspicious you should be in the clear Just use an adblocker and your best judgment when visiting new sites or downloading new files
Google doing apparently nothing to vet their ads is both unsurprising and disgusting.

Windows defender didn't removed the malware???
@@hammadnizami7026windows defender cannot defend against anything. You are as good as undefended if you rely on windows defender to protect your computer.
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
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 heard muta har talk / show case it a bit ago
Could you please make a video telling whether Davinci Resolve is safe or not? I know it's a well known video editing software, but when I installed it kept on asking me to bypass windows firewall. I need a video editing software and Davinci is the cheapest compared to Premier or Final cut. But I don't want any malware on my PC. So, it would be really helpful to me if you can tell me whether it's safe to use or not. I've already done a full scan using malwarebytes and it didn't find any malware on my PC after installing Davinci Resolve Studio. But if you confirm it, then I can rest assured.
it is 100% safe, it probably wants to bypass the firewall to make sure it can download the effects
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.
Then I recommend brave browser,brave browser is not affected by manifest V3 by google, google is trying to hurt AdBlockers
Just curious. Could you do the same for a linux dekstop?
More people should see this
Makes me think about OpenBSD's slogan "A secure OS for a hostile Internet".

mostly kids are prone to malware for example i remember when i was like 8 and well adult fake notifications popped up because i downloaded something bad
i remember typing youtube and getting a youtube ad as the first result and i clicked it and it downlaoded virus and had hella sirens on the website
The 2nd example is kind of stupid. Why, because you're not clicking on something for the wallpaper itself...just an ad for some zip utility. Why would anyone want to click on something unrelated to the wallpaper that they are going for? On the bottom you have another for that same possible zip utility. The same file size anyway. On the top you have London store ad. How about showing us the whole page and how some 'ads' might trick us to think we're download what we want. I personally don't see how clicking on a Zipmate ad is going to get the wallpaper.
I want to get a degree that is related to what you post. It’s so interesting with the wide range of information and knowledge you have. Do you have any recommendations or any degree you already got? I’d appreciate any info PC Security Channel. Thanks 🙏🏽
tbh it is kinda needed to turn off anti virus if u wanna some cheats or else it wont work
and why didn't you report the video?
that sea turtle gave me war flashbacks
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.
That's why I use Norton safe search and everything they offer
guys i accidentally downloaded a software with passcode, am i cooked? pls what should i do to remediate
Please make an updated video about trend micro
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.
The problem is: theres thousands of malware videos and clickbait bs videos , but what do i do when i already am infected? What to do when shit in on my neck already?
Malware is everywhere, what to do if my machine infected ? How to know im safe again? How to proceed? 0 clues. If a ramsomware appeared on my screen (even if it was a prank one) i would just look at the screen and cry.
I have 25 years old and i have 0 clue on what to do
I use adblocker to make site less bad.
The logical solution to make people disable adblock is make the site less bad by default
Instead they double down or even triple down.
Would a service like Guardio help with these malware add
not much more than block websites that are on their blacklist
1:50 That's why the internet is unusable without an adblocker
20 years ago i was a complete pc noob , once my buddy asked me to download this old cartoon ost , surprisingly it was an .exe file once installed it disappeared taking down with it the Av and windows task manger , i learned my lesson the hard way !
And this is why I have adblockers
Google should atleast investigate the ads that they host on their browser
just saying, I would like to see a comparison between Bing and Google safety .
I remember when I first got a laptop I got a lot of viruses from downloading games and free video editing software sine I didn't know better at the time, wish someone taught instead of me learning the hard way.
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.
So if it has a password its malware?
Wow i didnt know that google pumps out so many ads... Thank adguard to Block all that ish
now im scared, how tf do i check if im hacked
Generally if you don't notice anything suspicious you should be in the clear
Just use an adblocker and your best judgment when visiting new sites or downloading new files
2:34 Top right corner is clear X to close that! Even i saw that!
