  • Hello, my friends! Let's hit 20K likes? Check out my website! enderman.ch
    Today I am going to show you how malicious pop-ups infect your computer and scam you into buying of the largest cybersecurity vendors' products. It's repugnant how only 10 years after the Fake AV flood we have actual antimalware vendors scamming users into getting their product.
    Still got questions? Don't hesitate, send them to contact@enderman.ch!
    Hope you have a great day!

Then I got a new computer and it took a bit less than 10 seconds to load google chrome, a minute or so to boot up, and Minecraft was not runnable because it ran at less than a frame per second. Idk if it was because I had mcafee but now I built my new computer and it boots and loads stuff so fast and I can actually run games I’m so happy

    One time i had a dream where my trusty malwarebytes became a discount mcafee (no window styling or anything)
    I was scared because my greatest fear is my computer getting worst virus ever (im on mac)
    I had no idea what McAfee was.
    I looked it up on google when i woke up from fear.

    Not just that, whenever I literally open a new Chrome window in my school laptop, there is a McAfee popup showing these useless antivirus information for my computer.
    I don't get why schools put this kind of trash, they are like when grandmas download a fake antivirus program without even realizing it. So this is why I use Malwarebytes and Avast only.

    I had Norton on a new laptop back years ago and when it came up for renewal it bugged me several times a day to several times per hour and started slowing down my laptop to the point where Norton became a virus itself. The fix I used was to delete it and any left over files off of my machine and installed Avast antivirus free on it and never had any problems after that. Got the odd notification here and there to upgrade to paid version but never slowed anything down on my laptop.
