The Antivirus that spreads Malware 

Yes, I agree that the old Microsoft Edge is truly terrifying

I remember an old theory that antivirus companies were creating and releasing viruses. It doesn’t seem far-fetched now.

so many companys that i used back in the day, (Adaware, AVG, Avast) all seem to end up in the same place, crappy scareware money grabbing tools that really are no better than the malware they where supposed to protect you from.

the most mind-numbing bit is that the 2013 date is ACTUALLY when the final current version of ImgBurn was released by the developers. Insane.

“I’m gonna show you something disturbing. No it’s not the old microsoft edge” lmfao you genius

Glad someone is finally calling out the norton and mcafee popups! Really lowers my respect for those companies

No way, just today an Lavasoft junk "antivirus" downloaded on my pc without my consent, i obviously uninstalled it, what a coincidence that Enderman uploaded a video about that company and his terrible programs.

This is something called Antivirus without the first 4 letters

honestly you don't even need an antivirus sometimes if you know what you're clicking online, don't rely on antivirus exclusively when the main antivirus is your knowledge to what to click and not click. Good video my guy, very nice spreading information.

As a company, McAfee are just a bunch of scumbags. My laptop came pre installed with a sad excuse of an antivirus and was so hard to uninstall. Imagine if Windows XP had this bloatwear 💀

It's almost like a rogue AV and at the same time it isn't. Schrodinger's antivirus.

I have no idea how I got infected, but my computer had the McAfee malware for a while, along with some either weird "antivirus" program that would repeatedly say "YOU HAVE XXX VIRUSES ON YOUR COMPUTER". Of course, I never fell for it and my dad (bless his soul for being a coder and knowing how to handle computers) used the ACTUAL antivirus that he installed before handing me the computer to find the malware and get them off my computer. After he thought the problem was removed, we did a full scan, and there is no more malware to be seen. I'm still thankful it wasn't giving me pop-up p**n stuff though and just stupid little "you have a virus" pop-ups. Those are so much more tolerable than pop-up p**n.

The average Antivirus belike:

My dad uses mcafee and his subscription just ended so you can imagine the amount of adware pop ups that appear on his desktop every 30 minutes. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen from an antivirus company ever.

A while ago I accidentally installed some questionable stuff in my computer, and the publisher was Lavasoft. I avoid Lavasoft now. I got rid of the questionable stuff, so don't worry.

Me: **just minding my own business** Windows: *_Hey idiot, your antivirus has expired_*

Whoa, been a while since I've watched an Enderman video (even though I'm subscribed), first time hearing a voice!

I find that Norton now slows down your PC just before subscription renewal to make you think you have a virus. Pay your subscription and everything's fine again.

Dude you HAVE to get more subs so that more people know this. Everyone must be made aware of this shit. Thanks for the heads up mate. Continue this channel

Free antivirus without paying for premium/paid version be like:

Man I remember back in the day AdAware was the top anti-malware software, it was available before Malwarebytes

Really good video ! Can you test this antivirus against malware btw ? That would be great.

Я смотрю этот канал очень давно, он меня заинтересовал изучать программирование и компьютерную безопасность. Спасибо за всё, Эндермен!

bro Norton literally pops up with adware at least five times a week, always getting me to buy their other product. Like ransomware protection or adware protection, I click on it out of curiosity and then it says buy this for more protection or something like that. It obviously works, they get sales on their products because people who aren't familiar with this kind of stuff buy it too. It really is funny to see them begging for more money

MC Afee still does adware, it appears every time u turn on ur pc, in the bottom right, there is a popup which condones u to buy their software or u ‘accept the risk’

This is what they literally mean by " if you can't defeat them, join them"

I once, for some reason, decided to install bittorrent and i ended up with like 3 viruses on my PC, and you know what else is suspicions? It installed Adaware without asking me.

“We made it Patrick, we protected the computer”

(4:11) That looks like an AWS S3 error message, so they likely have a domain that redirected to an S3 bucket named 'h2ocdn', and left malware there. Wow.

me: clicks on video also me: gets an ad on virus protection

Never heard of the adaware antivirus before I watched this video

There's always the chance that the bad-hat people redirect their sites to the safe people so the trail leads to them. For example, I can easily redirect the main page of my site to another site like Google, but keep my own CDN running on a sub-domain like in the example.

I was unfortunately tricked by the McAfee antivirus. It told me I had 7 viruses and kept sending me notifications when I downloaded something… Never believing it again lol. I just rebooted my pc and everything worked fine again, so, thanks!

My favourite part is that the url says free burning software, the header and copyright say free burning tools, and the download is called image burner.

If any program is automatically installed alongside another program or being offered on another program's installer, never install that program.

That's why I delete McAfee when I get a laptop

Yeah, I would tell my dad, who has McAfee installed on all of our computers, but he wouldn't believe me.

McAfee has been shit since the day it started. My firend once had a phone with McAfee pre-installed and he was getting ads/ pop ups every 30 minutes.

Lavasoft's Ad Aware used to be good software. Sad to see it go downhill. An uncle of mine had used a bugged version of AdAware which kept dropping temp files in a folder until there was over 1 MILLION of the buggers there requiring over 4 hours to delete them all.

Wait a second, isn't InstallCore made by IronSource, which is the company merging with Unity Engine?

@Enderman Is Panda Dome Free Antivirus a safe AV? or should i use something else?

“You have become the very thing you swore to destroy.”

I wonder, should I remove the preinstalled anti viruses that do pop ups while I am doing something? It’s pretty annoying since sometimes it just disturbs me from my normal computer use.

Thanks you for helping teach pc security, Enderman.)

for some reason when i get a new windows 10 or 11 new pc or laptop it always shows mcafee?is that normal or bad?

is there an exeption with norton360? Im like worried

i need ur help ik irs off topic but realy my headphones cant sound on the right side how to fix!!??

Is mcafee webadvisor (the extension) still good to use?

enderman is posting, he keeps me in good mood

what about windows antivirus for windows 11? does it compare with other good antiviruses?

Back in the early 2000's the internet was littered with installers trying to install McAfee on my computers. It was annoying as hell.

Even Navashield & Security Scanner fighting each other

What REAL without any malware or adaware AV do you recommend?

why on vidlogo[thumbnail] you show the mcafee?

Man, it’s kinda scary that it’s worth to corrupt files.

i thought something seemed off about antiviruses always having a virus to detect

Oh hey, look... the silly installation tool that Iron Source created... Why did Unity buy a company notorious for malware creeping into their installers? Dang I wish I could just get it...

The ad even had the mcafee expired thing

Interesting video, but what Antivirus do you prefer/use? I usually use Avast, but I don't really like it haha

Is McAfee safe if paid? My ISP provider provides me with a "free" subscribtion to McAfee Internet Security, should i go with it or just use linux like i usually do?

Jack Brewster:Virus has corrupted SKYNET John Connor :SKYNET IS THE VIRUS 😂😂😂😂😂

i have the mcafee notification thing.. but it only started after my mcafee subscription expired.

I have pre-installed windows with mcaffe but when I want delete it from my files there is written something You don't have administrator permission. but im the administrator. What the hell is that. And i have 70 percent memory usage.

in a day i visited a random site, it asked me to turn on the site notification then it was a mcaffe antivirus. some days i keep seeing notifications from mcaffe saying that i have 3,7 and 5 viruses and i didn't do anything (like clicking in fake download buttons)! so i got to settings and then disabled this site notifications

hey Enderman, just found your channel today. from when i searched 'Microsoft PC Health Check'. Thanks SO MUCH for your videos and all that you unveil. This is silly but, from what i've seen of your videos so far, i luvvv ya !! Lol. You are a beam of laser sharp precious light ,, in this big flippin smoke screen blizzard those corps are blowing up our noses. : ) , cheers.

My teacher back in high school did once said that antivirus-companies are the ones spreading viruses in the internet since "no one will use their product if there is no threat around". Microsoft Defender is still the best one that I only trust nowadays. lol

Alternate title : the malware that spreads malware

I remember having to get Adaware and McAfee off of my friends computer sometime last year.

But like Avast: !!! You computer has virus !!! The virus: Javaw(dot)exe ... ???

should i uninstall norton 360 for gamers????

Can you give us the music for your intro?

Why do you use edge?

can you tell me what enderware is?

I've used McAfee before. I'm currently using the WebAdvisor extension for chrome, and it's so good. Keeps me steering away from bad sites!

Once I put MacAfee on my other laptop, then like a few days or so later I tried starting it. The computer would bluescreen on startup and I had too wipe the whole system. Not sure if that was because of MacAfee or not, but I'm not gonna use it.

The main reason I assume the McAffe web notification was the is because of a affiliate marketing program. They will make a fake page like that, then redirect to their affiliate link and get a profit. Additionally, the other popup is probably because of many manufactures pre installing it. I bought a Lenovo "ThinkBook" and it came preinstalled with that AND a bunch of other junk. Not windows installing it, but the BIOS that tells Windows to install it.

why is the news on edge are in german ?

antiviruses that spread malware. talk about anime levels of betrayal.

why is your bing feed german lad

These kind of videos are very useful because (maybe most of adults will ignore) But few adults and kids will knew this and they will be careful of these things and it's very interesting and funny

Antivirus companies spreading virus is common practice nowday. Still remember that one pesky kaspersky virus that incripted my USB stick data and spread like wild fire amongst my office PCs

I love new Microsoft edge but damn, how many times that I almost cried everytime old edge opened.

I hate mcafee. It came built in with my asus laptop. The trial ended. Now like every 2 hours it pops up saying buy it.

Few days ago I just had a hell out of uninstalling Avira from a friend's computer. That POS managed to make windows not boot properly and keeps bootlooping in WinRE.

Can you review Kaspersky? I personally think it's the best av out there.

Some antiviruses be like Hmmm, his PC is clean or is it?

Did you check for utf-8 phishing? Not that I don't think they would not do it, or that it would be likely someone would think of looking at the download link, but still, before accusing someone you should check that.

Hey enderman just a question are you from germany or russia (Just a question)

how do u have a bunch of different "computers" or "accounts" u get different virusus on , cause u made all of these vids and you have gotten all these virusus, do u replace something in the pc, im not that much of a computer nerd(not saying anyone is or isnt), but im super interested and i dont understand

The "Scare people into buying there antivirus" happened to me and it TERRIFIED ME (I was really young)

Found McAfee pre-installed on the secondary laptop I have in house. Uninstalled it straight away.

It's kinda scary how they can just download on your pc without you knowing I'm having problems with it it keeps downloading again and again

Adaware… Isn’t it Adware?

whats worse? mcaffee or norton

Привет эндермен! Я на протяжении года смотрю тебя, и никаго-го не качевственого контента не замечаю, продалжай в том же духе! Изменено: если автор видео напишет под видеом Абоба, я съем пк.

Why would you use edge in german?

Make pls a video denying the new design of the 22H2. Just like you did with the W11 taskbar, which is actually the W10 bar, as well as the fake W11 rounded corners.

How did you remove your malware? Was it a virtual computer?

Why is the German Startpage in the English Edge?

Antivirus? More like: Multivirus! Cool videos!
