One thing I've always wondered is how AVs can legally advertise a 50% off sale that never goes away. At least in the States, there have been a few companies (like JC Penney's iirc) that have lost lawsuits because they would advertise 'sale prices' on their products, when in fact the 'sale price' was just the regular, everyday price that would never change. They lost the lawsuit because it's clearly false advertising (misleads the customer to think they're getting a time-sensitive deal).

@@ndro8032 Malwarebytes is lightweight antivirus that is designed to run with bigger ones like Avast, Nod32, Win Defender... In my opinion running Malwarebytes alongside Defender is not bad idea, Windows 7 and older didn't have that good defender but Windows 10 does a pretty good job at it. I believe that "big" AV's are just useless and takes a lot of resources and does pretty much the same thing as Win Defender but worse, so using these kind is just pointless, not to mention possible ads and spams as already mentioned.

Basically don't trust programs that demand administrator privileges. If a program that should work fine on ring 3 demands ring 2 or 1 administrator privileges then i wouldn't trust that shit. Rings 2 and 1 are only meant for device drivers and not for programs. Ring 0 gives you access to basically everything and ring 3 privileges give you almost no access.

You've got good reason to distrust anti-virus software. It needs access to most (if not all) of your file system to scan it and remove "malicious" files.
Currently one of the best methods to protect yourself from malware is blocking ads and tracking services in your browser, since the delivery networks behind those can be used to infect your PC.
Of course it needs to have access how it can otherwise protect your PC?
@@Fanatik456 That is the point. Antivirus software increases your system's attack surface through the means it employs *by design*. My criticism was not directed at a certain kind of antivirus software, but rather at the concept itself.
I know this is old and I don't usually watch your channel but I have to say lots of respect for actually putting the effort into designing a graphic for your sweatshirt and not just doing some low effort simple text and selling it for 40$.
If you’re still running on Windows 7 and older, it is extremely important to get an antivirus because there’s no security updates anymore.
I would argue that no, it is still more important to just not execute programs that you don't trust. Browsers still are getting security updates, etc. just your OS is not. Although yes it would be smarter to switch to Linux Mint over staying on Win7 I think
@@magnusanderson6681 given we've now had multiple CVEs for SMB over the past few years that shift to another maintained OS is a really good idea over browser updates another virus like Sasser or Blaster being a vector for zombifying obsolete OSes isn't something we need to see happen.
@@cericat Honestly I don't know how bad exploits on Win7 are, like I said I wouldn't dare use such an operating system (except in a VM).
My point is that if you have good opsec, no one is going to get control over your computer without discovering a zero-day in your browser too. Or your shitty proprietary pdf reader or something too, since apparently adobe reader can execute shell code
Would it be nice if you were safer than just your browser? Sure, but it isn't the end of the world
@@magnusanderson6681 we just had an SMB vulnerability patched (again) in W10 in December. Sadly no guarantee the same vulnerability isn't in the no longer maintained editions of Windows. And these tend to be issues that are sniffed for over the web. Heck getting the Blaster fix onto XP before you connected to the internet was key, my experience was you had about 5 minutes before it hit you, no browsing required, and it wasn't installing that fix as part of the latest SP on a fresh install despite being released before it was assembled.
A good hardware firewall can mitigate some of the threats I mentioned, but counting on any one measure to safeguard a connected system is risky, especially for an OS we're always seeing people looking for new exploits for, and there's way more of those older systems out there than we like to see with no guarantee they ever updated so are even more vulnerable than the best case scenario.
I think it'd be really cool if Muta made a series for guides on internet safety, it would help out a lot of people who are unsure about a lot of things online.
Muta: "I don't trust Antivirus softwares"
Computer viruses: "It's free real estate"

To be fair, the ransomware protection in Windows Defender has to be properly set up by the user. It consists mainly of "controlled folder access" which denies unknown programs access to the folders set up in there and it's deactivated by default. Most people don't know about it or don't bother activating it. Which I can understand as it can cause issues with programs as some will refuse to work because they can't access certain folders, so you first have to go through a process of allowing them access manually. (I also encountered some kind of a bug with it before, where a program wanted access, I gave it access to those folders and it still couldn't open my files. It's been a while so it's probably been fixed at some point.)
"Whether it be through an email link, which you should never trust"
*sad password reset noises*
the thing with antivirus is you give away part of your pc for protection sure you never open surpicious links whatever but one time you may accidentally open a wrong url by mistyping, opening a virus google result and voila now your files are encrypted for a sum, it's a nightmare thats worth 40 dollars per year to me at least it's like backing up your files, it's like insurance but with insurance you get something replacable replaced but with important files theres no replacing those, important information all of it
If you're concerned about that then you might be better off setting up a backup server. You could have a cron job run every week/few days/whatever you want that uploads all of your files to this server. The server maintains the most recent two backups (in case something happens to your files right before the job runs) and if anything happens you can just restore your files from the server. Sure they'll be a week old but it beats losing them completely. I would recommend investing in some server hardware and a good amount of storage (about double what you have on your PC, say you have 1 TB, then you'll want to get 2 TB). I would also recommend running a linux distro (Ubuntu Server is very good) on the server. Linux is known for being very stable; you can leave a Linux PC running for years unlike Windows which will restart or crash even just a few days or weeks in. For extra security I would also recommend investing in some cloud storage and setting up your server to upload the oldest backup to the cloud storage every so often (maybe once a month or something). This protects your data in the event of a fire or other physical disaster
Accidentaly opening a link because of a simple misclick won't lead to a ransomeware attack. Downloading and executing a malicious virus (Trojan for example) is what will lead to encrypted files and a sum to be paid. Which, again, is what Antiviruses are there for: to prevent you from executing malicious downloads by warning you beforehand what's in them.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
If you're stupid enough to 'accidently open a wrong URL' then you deserve everything that happens. On top of that the only way this scenario happens is if you're in an area of the internet you should not be if you're a newbie/idiot. Lastly, it's 2020. If you don't have some of/all of your files backed up then the fault is yours and yours alone. External hard drives are very inexpensive and all it takes is for you to move your files before you go to bed at night and you will not run into any problems. Basically it comes down to common sense. Don't be an idiot and 99.9 times out of 100 you'll be fine. Don't be a hero and try to click links or download things from shady websites.
I just had a stroke reading that.

Are you new here? He don't even trust windows.
@@gaurangshukla8235 I love how he switches to Linux for privacy reasons, and then installs a tonne of closed-source software.
Why even change OS
@@animepussy8356 That's where VM comes into play. Install windows 10 on a VM, play all your favourite games on it. Use linux for all your personal stuff. You can even install macos on a VM and use it without effecting your base linux install. He makes a video about it explaining it too.
"I don't vibe with how this goofy ass program has direct access to my files and information"
@The Marauder Its a tradeoff learn to use some tools and take control of your PC or just stay with windows. Both just works.
the thing is, sometimes you cant control if a virus comes on to your computer. but, with an antivirus, it wont let it happen. a virus could've gotten into an updated software that is not a virus and could infect computers once the software is updated. this is why i trust antiviruses imo
You know this has made me realise my AVG has never blocked anything from running on my PC, yet my built in OS protection has notified me of a ton of stuff.
Avg is scareware
And kaspersky is legit
Only if ur downpoading cracked games
When you want to crack something Antivirus is so penetrating
Its a mirror
Fr tho, all anti viruses i have used have stopped less virus's (?) than any sort of hack/cheat, they really dont like apps that inject shit
that wording tho...
👀
I find it funny antivirus gets into the root of your PC, and can’t find real viruses yet will mark my Minecraft data pack as a threat
