How you get hacked: Undetected Malware

[albertweskerk]

Meanwhile my own harmless app gets flagged as malware

One more thing that could've been mentioned is that if you're creating malware, the one AV you probably want to be able to avoid is Windows Defender considering the majority of people use it. It's why I'd be a little hesitant on saying "Windows Defender is good enough!" that I see mentioned so often.

A coworkers Windows computer detected a malware email attachment two years after he received the email.

You did an excellent job of describing the problem, but some hint toward a solution would have been nice. I know recommending specific AV companies is probably not what you want to do, but do we even need those outside AV companies, or is Windows protection good enough, I don't know. I am left with many more questions after this vid than answers. Thanks, and keep up the great work 🙂

Windoes Defender detecting something hasn't always stopped it in my experience. Maybe I'm just unlucky or maybe Windows Defender was just fucked last time I used Windows.

This is why ad blockers are more important than antivirus software ❤(assuming you didn’t download a fake ad blocker😂)

[TooCloseSeries]

The PC Security Channel should have its own branded antivirus. We would all get it. 🥰

Thank you for the video. Btw, What happened to "Best Antivirus/EDR vs Unknown Ransomware part 2" video ?

4:25 to 4:30 For those who are photo-sensitive, you might want to either look away or skip to 4:30. This video fails WCAG 2.3.1 Three-Flash Threshold, Level A.

Just the other day I had someone open a zip file and try to run what was inside. Windows defender seemed to get it. But the company firewall was blowing up. Had the pc trashed. Not worth the headache.

If a new file like a 0Day one passes detection when scanned but there is still a doubt in your mind act on your gut feeling. You can always come back to the file in a month or so and rescan, which by then security scanners should detect it if it is indeed malware.

Great vid Leo, informative as always!

I keep my tax papers and stuff on a separate air-gap PC. It's a pain to have to use removable drives to transfer files, but I know that they will not be sent out over the internet. It is getting harder to do though.

[odaiodeh]

Great job and effort, Can you please make a video on How to discriminate between Real Malware and False-positive detection or even a Generic detection! Thx again ♥️🙏

Currently wiping my entire windows disk because i got whacked with something like this. No more windows on bare metal for me ever again. Tired of this crap.

It’s like the Matrix, what you see isn’t the real threat, it’s what’s lurking beneath the surface.

[shanepearce]

when i was on metered download limit i use to save all downloads on a hard drive MONTHS TO YEARS LATER some of downloaded files would be flagged as UNSAFE

[stereo]

How can we really know who offers the best anti-virus protection?

[chup-tdrx]

plus the attackers update the stub everytime when its get detected to make it again fud every 2-3 days they obfuscate it new

First time viewer of this channel, only thing I could say is; the presentation is great. Could be better thogh, you make reference to people doing their own detection twice. Could be helpful to maybe mention a few easy techniques eg…. task manager
