- How many viruses did we get from FAKE Download Button Ads? Today I'm looking at fake download button ads and the potential malware that can be installed from clicking them.

Avoid accidentally clicking ads on websites that offer downloads, sometimes they are disguised to look just like the regular download button, but instead of containing your file, they will instead offer you a virus or adware.
Much of the music in my videos comes from the CZcams audio library, especially this amazing music creator: / @patrickpatrikios2050 .

I really hope that malware hunting and clicking links would be a bigger genre. It’s not that hard to make and it’s really entertaining. Nice work!

@@jahedali404 ?
except that most videos I found only download 3-5 things then destroy the vm
all fun and games till your pic gets desfroyed
@@fleetwastaken have you heard of virtual machines?
you know its a legit download button when it has a gradient effect
yep. thats true
it’s also legit if it’s shaking
also legit if it says "Download $Title$.exe"
Also legit if it has a big green button and arrows pointing at it
Or if they use one of the "Download button png"s
My nephew allowed every permission on his school laptop each time he got one of these websites, even allowing camera access. Kids should not be allowed to have their own computer yet. Smh
if they do for some reason i recommend setting deny as default in the browser settings
I feel like the reason behind this is because kids receive technology way earlier than we did. By the time I ever used a computer, it was in primary school with a teacher telling us how to use it. As I had no computer experience back then (didn't get our first family computer till a few years later), I had to really listen to the instructions.
Now, kids are glued to ipads before they hit daycare! I watched my bosses son play on his phone (he wasn't even in kindergarten then), and he absolutely shocked me at how well he navigated the phone! And then I realised.... he's not reading (or rather can't read) a single word! He just knows that when a popup comes, press the button on this side, or press the button that's coloured in! Your nephew probably translated that autopilot skill into just accepting them.
Even we're guilty of accepting ToS and EULA without reading, but they're definitely on another level!
I remember when I was little our school had a computer lab in the library.
Part of language class would always involve going those computers and being taught basic computer skills.
File system, saving work, Ms word, and basic security.
I'm surprised this isn't more common.
I got a laptop when I was like 8 and the worst thing I ever got was a trojan that didn't do much damage at all
@@TheUniqueen999 Worst thing I ever got was mcafee
ive been super addicted to watching people download viruses lately
OMG SAME HAHAHA
Same. I think it's interesting

"CZcams mp3 conversion is against youtube's terms of service" I'm a rule-breaker, and I'm proud of it!
Mp3 coversion is against TOS, i reccomend downloading the audio directly off of youtube with yt-dlp
The line i use
yt-dlp -f bestaudio "link"
(Which is also against TOS but you get better audio at lower space (= )
"CZcams MP3 conversion is against CZcams's Terms Of Service", oh well, guess I'm a rulebreaker. Everyone uses them to get audio files for things. Oh, I break the rules. I would encourage people to download legitimate video converters, like the one's I've found.
Fr💀
Even if i didn't download CZcams videos i still would be a rule breaker💀
@@kevinwong_2016 i always do so i could get the benefit without paying for premium
I was taught to use YT converters during a computer workshop I attended
@@domena1007 same it's quite practical
ytdlp or nothing
I spend hours on my vm downloading viruses. It’s a very fun hobby
Lol i hope you have it segmented from your network lol
This is such an underrated channel. Such interesting content
ikr
Yay! Another fake download button ads video. I've been waiting so long :)
I get the chills when u upload it is so interesting!
This is just great content
Keep up the good work my guy
i love how it says sus
wow. such a underrated video. also NOW HE PUBLISHED VIDEOS ALL THE TIME :) GOOD JOB!
He said google ada cant be too bad ... Dude they sell ad spots to anyone i saw some literally pay for an ad spot that was an hour long video about crypto
Congrats on 100k channel views!
??
Yes! Thank you!
Very good video, keep up the good work!
When you see two download buttons
Me:
Which one do I click?
The one without a ad border around it
music was a bit loud, but love the content, keep it up!
1:05 I swear these dating ads are always on these
i speak spanish native and the code didn't seem to do nothing bad... just checking wich browser is the user using, creating an id with some crypto things to get a random ID , that's the 2nd code in the first one was just using some functions to create new tabs with the request of the user choice and stuff like that. Great vid , im new to the channel and i just love it!
I remember watching this man when i downloaded “hacks” for pixel 3d on mobile when I was a kid 😂
is this a part 2 to your first kind of video about this
These ads are the reason i have adblock and antivirus
Something i do before i hit download is i inspect the download button to find redirect link then delete any code off the html i currently have loaded so it can only redirect to the file download right. Or left clicking on some sites can cause ad redirects too which is annoying
If you use a VM to test malware, can it spread through the VM to my Windows
I think this is actually a good subject for a future video. I get this comment alot and the answer is complicated.
Yeah it can, you should have your firewall turned on.
@@EnderMC No it cannot, unless you explicitly setup Hyper-V to allow communication between VMs.
Making a VM is more than just clicking 'New VM', setting up VLANs and proper network segmentation is pretty standard here and would block practically any option for malware in one VM to spread to another VM or the host machine.
The only way then would be some zero-day exploit in the Hyper-V kernel, which trust me, if you have to ask; this type of exploit would not be used on you :P
But in case everything blows up you have backups anyway.
Why would it spread from Eric's VM to your computer?
@@someguy4915 The comment you replied to is made 2 years ago, and I didn't have a computer back then and I was just referring to other people's point of views in VMs. Thank you.
Planet whatever for mods is a bad idea its usually stolen mods that have injected viruses
And this is why we block ads
*Sees white woman with tech support headset*
“This looks like a scam”
This is why I have opera gx it has a built in Adblocker
1:24 I accidentally clicked on a website, for I thought it was the correct one; and it was basically that. Google also was asking me if I wanted to translate it from Russia, which I obviously didn’t want to do. Can I get in any way infected or cookies stolen by just going to the website. (I didn’t enable or click on anything in the web)
Yes, there’s a 95% chance it might get infected.
lol I caught that blacklisted by comodo itself for that comodo adjacent thing. They (comodo themselves) must have caught whatever that was doing something bad in 4k.
yeah tbh there's only ONE website (not installed just a website) that is yt to mp3 that had no ads or popups and I will NOT say it ao that it stays up
everything else yes... yes more of this!
really love the insights and the video but the background music drives me nuts
Ok so just another helpful comment for any of you scrolling through: He is using a virtual machine, and is not installing malware onto his pc. (Simple explanation, and not quite accurate but pretty much)
how do you make your vm look like a real pc
To get the VM to have sound, you should simply have to start the Sound Service in Windows. When Windows installs the VM "Guest Services" no matter if you run a Windows 2000 Server on WIndows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V or Like in my Case a Windows 11 in Windows Server 2012 R2 with ESU, it Disables the Service by Default. All you do, is start the Sound Service...
You probably already know this; still useful incase you need it. (Could pin it too ig)
I want to do things like this but I am afraid of accidentally injecting my Linux host :(
6:06 PROGRAMUS
i love these vids
I accidentally downloaded a fake setup and downloaded a virus called stopabit.
Screw youtube and their TOS
Aaah yes good ol reliable fox news “cough cough bloody cough”
when the program is SUS 6:06
The fake McAfee window is actualy McAfee (and same with Norton
And thats why no one likes McAfee
You cant tell if its malware or not
A clean install of win10 always comes with bad internet drivers, so i would still need some driver updater like iobit for that first setup phase.
Internet drivers xD Also don't forget to download more RAM, use a registry cleaner and update your wifi-cable.
@@someguy4915 You think im joking, but a lot of motherboards come with wifi capabilities, and those wifi drivers aren't usually in clean windows installs.
And hope you find yourself funny, go duck your CAT-5 RJ45 cable
i use vmware and vbox
can you do fake fortnite skin sites many people havent done that yet.
Might look at that. I've heard of skin changers before.
He did that
hi
what VM do u use?
Do you have ears ?
@@elrymoe yea
@@elrymoe besides just saying it to piss people off 💀
Hyper V? Nah Virtual Box is better
"Update your operating system for security reasons", nah, I like to use older operating systems just to either experience what they're like for the first time or to re-experience ones I grew up using. I know you did videos on what can happen if you connect them to the internet or whatever, but, whatever. It sucks we live in a world where we have to keep up-to-date with things and are pressured to by every person and every company and constantly badgered and harassed and that there are hackers and malware creators doing this shit.
