This is stupid.
How?
it is and i love it
That's my exact thoughts

when virus have system requirements
Yee
Hey, even viruses have standards.
Unsupported operating systems are actually safer?
@@Pigcogames thats why the military uses Windows XP for their computers
@@Pigcogames Yes and no. While most malware won't support the OS, if someone wants to target specifically you, and they see you're on 98, they're going to have a lot more exploits to work with.
That moment when you realize Windows 98 is now the most secure version.
No it's windows 2
@@hhhpestock951 No it's 1.0
@@EpicEmberOriginal no, it's radio shack's deskmate.
Windows 98 is for girls. Real men use ms-dos
@@windestruct noob I use bios
Imagine having a computer so old that you’re immune to the viruses
What Micrsoft doesn't want you to know
Like that episode of the Simpsons where Mr burns is so old he has every virus so he's immune to them
Thats not true, it highly likely has unpatched network exploitable bug
The definition of security through obscurity
Exactly like you, Mr. Linux (no offense)
I'm going to go on a whim and say that him using firefox helped with the stuff that would've just loaded by just going to some of these sites.
@@JamesnLollify given the poplurity and use of linux in servers and consumer devices, no
How secure would something weird like Amigaos be.
You should call a tech support scammer with this version of windows 98
_someone who is _*_NOT_*_ Indian please 😂👍_
@@Brahvim how are you emojis in *ITALICS*
@@noobboss0 OMG WHAT!?
Idk how did TH-cam glitch!?
FYI you can type in Italics by putting underscores (This --> _ ) around text.
Also I just got the notification LOL
Heya people
@@Brahvim why not, most scammers live in india. Chances are the tech scammer will be in india
if you realy want to destroy windows, just first must learn the art of joel
Exopat joel mama
Forgot about Joel. Need to watch him again.
no you need lots of backstreet boys on your computer and that will destroy your windows computer
I thought it said Juul lol

"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A VIRUS FOR WINDOWS 98!!!"
Joel: "Are you challenging me?"
lets get you 69 like
cuz ur almost there
danooct1: hold my viruses bud
Try out Bonzi Buddy (or not)
MattKC: "Oh hey, now the internet is loading"
Windows 98: *laughs in c: drive*
3:09 Oddly enough, deleting the “Setup MSN Internet Access” icon from the desktop removes that pop up. It took me forever to figure that out for myself.
wtf
@@SometimesSomethingProductions idk why but as a fellow win98 user it's true
@@loganiushere so what your saying is, windows has *_always_* been windows
Thanks for the tip! Personally I just go in Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connection -> Setup
This was fabulous. I'm slightly disappointed you didn't play 3D Pinball on that old relic, but the Backstreet Boys icons made up for it.
Oh man, how did I not? 😂 that was too classic back in the day, can't believe I forgot! Ah well next time ;)
Try installing Windows 11 on the slowest compatible hardware
@@helixifiedgd better yet officially incompatible hardware. I've done it before and it's not exactly uh.. fun tbh. Interesting to see for sure, depending on what you try to do, but it's really just a waiting game. I've had my fill of doing dumb shit like that personally lmao
i did the thing of counting every time matt said fuck or fucking in this video
he said it 38 times
There’s no way there has to be more than that
Windows 98: somehow the best antivirus
win11: crap, vulnerable to anime girlfriend viruses, smells like the remains of a skunk
win98: secure, nastolgia packed, easy to use
dos: *infinite*
I had a friend in high school who had a reverse Hitler mustache and that’s exactly what we called it. Glad I’m not the only one who made that connection
So relatable when 30 people come up to you asking if you can hack facebooks
I used to get that in high school "yo can you hack my report card and give me good grades?"
Red Squirrel if I had a dollar for every time someone asked me that back then....
@@redsquirrelftw GIMP or Photoshop is your friend
Windows 98 is now the most secure Windows version. It's so outdated, even viruses don't support it anymore
How in the world do boomers get viruses so easily.
I bought an old lady's computer for retro gaming: She had two free antivirus/malware programs. Create-a-card stuff, six different media players, toolbars galore in Internet Explorer, several different "end-cap" printer drivers and their programs (the ones they sell cheap at Walmart Target, etc) and everything she ever saved was literally saved ALL on the desktop, including her banking ( and there were 2 or three of those programs on there) So, yeah, it's amazing if they DON'T get viruses!
Yeah always amazes me lol. I've done this sort of thing too and it's actually harder than you'd think. I find searching for "free toolbar" really brings out lot of malware lol. With IE it's best though as you only need to go to bad websites to get viruses you don't even need to download or run anything. Still requires some effort to find the bad sites though.
Outlook was the biggest malware hole back then, and worms and macro-infected Word documents could make the computer unbootable. Nowadays it's just bundleware, adware and ransomware that you're tricked into executing yourself.
@@patcallahan1050 I bought an old Windows 98 PC a couple years back off eBay, for retro gaming. The lot was one of those real estate sales where they sell everything for whatever they get because the property got foreclosed on. I paid $15 for the computer, and when it came in, I booted it up. Upon first boot, it spewed an error about CMOS settings not saved, easy fix, replace the battery. Then, when it finally booted up, it had a 60 GB hard drive, and 40 GB of "adult content". Upon further digging, this thing was used as a website server for said content, and was in operation up to 2015. You'll find all sorts of interesting things from second hand lol
@@redsquirrelftw Yeah, in IE especially some sites can just run JS without you knowing about it. Never use IE in todays computers, it can really harm you. Edit: Or should I say, todays OS
One of the most important reasons to upgrade your hardware and software is to avoid vulnerabilities, well, we have come full circle to and Windows 98 is so old that nobody cares to exploit it anymore, so it became more secure.
aw yeah, this is big brain time
I was having a real shitty day today and watching this made it not _quite_ the worst day of my life thx Matt
also Sorry you couldn't get any free spicy virus samples
Ahh thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that.
And hey maybe I'll have better luck in part 2 😏

You need to upgrade your system to get the latest trending viruses !
i guess mattkc at 2017 dropped lots of f bombs

danooct1: *your free trial of living has expired*
yes!
Should have tried “free ram download” XD
I love how the music is named "fuckmejustin" or something like that hahaha
What I’ve learned from this is that it’s actually really hard to get a virus
Matt: I can't get a virus on WIndows 98.
Vinesauce Joel: Hold my beer! I can do the stink!
lol
Can anyone count how many times he said fu*king or fu*k on this video
funniest part is that Id go to the dump and pick old desktops out, plug em in and this is basically the background and layout I remember seeing lmfao
Only vinesauce joey can find a way to destroy any pc
:Matt getting a virus is hard
:vinesuace Joel hold my virtual machine
Best comment so far 🤣🤣
I just found out about you from your other windows 98 video, and man, you're a legend. I want to see more!
Why didn't you just type "windows 98 virus" into Firefox?
it would kinda defeat the point of the vid imo
Gregs But Better he was going out of his way to download virus. I think it wouldn’t have
@@HysteriaVybe but I think he was trying to emulate a really stupid person using the computer, even a stupid person wouldn't get a virus on purpose
Were it so easy
2:47 no judgment on the filename lol
Do you not remember the sasser worm? I was wondering if it was still around actually...
It was so rampant that it would cause most older versions of Windows to crash within just a few minutes of going online
wasn't that with Windows XP?
I love doing this kind of stuff. I find that a slightly out of date version of Windows works best. Windows 7 is likely your best bet currently.
It not easy to get on windows 7 also unless you go looking
XP will still get you fooked up. same with server 2008 and unpatched server 2012.
Matt probably sweared the most in this video and I'm all for it
Win 10:vulnerable to malware,Memz, WannaCry, etc
Win 98:nope
mattkc channels the energy of joel and spends a huge amount of time just fucking around before actually getting started with the destruction
No one
My pc in 90s : 3:27
hearing matt swear multiple times in a video and without the windows 98 error sound as the censor bleep feels weird
how the hell do you only have 464 subs. you deserve more
And six months later, he had ten thousand, ^_^.
Now 12.4k

damn, when did joel shave his beard, grew hair, changed his voice, left sweden, and turned asian?
ik this is an old video but i am also one of those nerds that people thought spent all their time writing viruses
also the 3d maze was the best thing ever
6:30 Ok. Gimme a Windows 98 installation CD. TODAY. *NOW.*
it would be interesting to decompile some of those executables and see their source
"I'm a female seeking a female.. hell ya!..." There you got me. 😁
So much nostalgia in one video 😂 so amazing
When you don’t know about bonzi buddy
Now THAT was a awesome tool to have on your computer! I loved that little chubby gorilla! Or Gator! Or REALfuckingPLAYER, u remember? Hehe
when your computer is so old that even the virus is telling you that you need an upgrade
The amount of swearing in this is great. tfw forget to turn off your Australia 😂
I f*cking love watching your old videos. This is funny as hell xD
Bonzi buddy: am i a Joke to you?
I could double-like if I could
How are you not more popular?! Underrated TH-cam channel right here.
I actually had that NSYNC background on my windows 98 PC back in the day...
Michael Daigle wha-
TIL that not updating your computer makes it more secure
Take a shot every time Matt says fucking
6 years ago Matt was WILD man. Look at that HAIR. I lost count of how many times he said the FUCK word. This video was a trip compared to what I'm used to seeing.
to connect to the internet, delete MSN from the desktop and it'll be forced to open the regular connection wizard
Take a shot for every "fuck" in this video LMAO
I'm glad I found a fellow Aussie nerd that's enjoying answering the questions I think of at 3am in the morning
featuring me, aged 5, trying to play Club Penguin and clicking cool adverts
hearing matt swear so often is jarring after binging his more recent content LOL
Matt your voice has not changed over 5 years and I like it
When you watched Joel too much
Did he eat Joel? He's become just like him!
Ugh, that 'custom desktop' really made me nauseous... it looks like something a 16 year old girl would've done in '98. 'Pink unicorn vomit'...
Where is Bonzi?
ok but we need to see this re-attempted with XP now obviously
f*ckin counter: ∞
I think this proves that updating your computer inadvertantly makes you more susceptible to viruses
ah yes, the old days of mattkc frequently using the word "fuck" before coppa
I was literally screaming DOWNLOAD MEMZ the whole video lmaooo
MEMZ only works on XP and higher
I was able to get Internet explorer working on windows 98 second edition in a VM
0:17 Very relatable line...
I like how every sentence in this video has at LEAST one instance of the F-word. It’s pretty fucking funny if you ask me. This is why I fucking love this video out of all of the other fucking videos. He fucking censors all of the other ones.
This is just a MattKC Classic
You should have ran some of the service pack updates for win 98, then seeked out viruses specifically for that operating system. Some people even write viruses nowadays for older OS'S like win 98 for fun
2:20 Of course I immediately thought of Doom.
Because everything can run Doom
Does Limewire still work? That'd be my first go-to.
(PS. Also very good viewing for March 2020...)
take a shot every time he says fuck
Bout fell out of my seat when a virus pop-up notification from Windows complained about a missing DLL; how times have changed and somehow stayed the same.
Is this the mister Burns way of life?
how was this 6 years ago already
Take a drink every time he says fuck
lmao
Hi! this was in my recommendation. I’m glad it is.
It's been 7 years since that video got recorded lol
Take a shot every time he says "fuckin'"
This gives me some serious vaporware vibes
Remember the time you had 20 extra hotbars in IE... The good times.
A wise man once said: I just want a virus!
6:27 "Just give me a virus!" That's a sentence I thought I would never hear someone say
matt kc has been possessed by the spirit of vivziepop with his language
MattKC: Somewhere between DanOct1 and Vargskelethor
Pipes with 3d textured and mapped images is where the screen saver game peaked 🙃
You can just download open source viruses mate, you dont need to go on a mission around pirate bay ;)
I’ve never head Matt swear so many times in a single video
Mat: looks everyware for a virus
Me: ok, you do that, I'ma just look up endermach on Google and get his malware database.
When windows 98 is safer than windows 10
It must be better, the number is bigger! 2000 must be the best ever
"NOW to trash this thing"
as if it wasnt already completely trashed XD
Damn I am loving it here,on your channel
