  • You may have heard of the more common computer viruses, but these five are a few more extra dangerous viruses you REALLY do not want on your computer. From taking your files ransom to foiling uranium enrichment, Hank will teach you a little more about these viruses in a fun (and slightly unsettling!) new episode of SciShow!

    3:00 Just a little correction: Worms are characterized by their ability to spread without user interaction, if you have to download it and run it yourself, it's a trojan.
    Also a virus is a program that injects itself into (infects) preexisting files. It's not an umbrella term covering all bad software, that would be malware.

    I actually remember Grandma having a type of Bakasoftware.
    They told her to upgrade and she went over and contacted the dude(who was Russian, like in the vid), and she was all like "nup, I'm not gonna upgrade, I need to pick my grandaughter up for school!" and hung up the phone.
    She eventually got the problem solved and got a wonderful antivirus protection thing. So it all worked out in the end I guess

    Code red kind of is similar to the MSET exploit for homebrew on the DS/3DS family. It makes an entry point by spamming loads of characters, more than the pc can handle which then gives access to other parts. This is ALSO how Cubic Ninja turned into a homebrew app.

    Back in the early 1990's, I was working at a school computer lab. The computer was infected with the virus known as "Printer Panic." This virus activated when you queued up a document to print. While the document was printing, it would make the document print over and over again, and completely erase your hard drive and floppies while doing it. I lost a very important essay I was supposed to turn in the next day due to this.

    I always thought that BIOS chip is responsible to check the parts at startup and give the control to OS after that. It is true that you can't boot a PC with broken BIOS but it doesn't serve to connect all the devices - this is responsibility of the varios busses

    • @tormodhag6824
      @tormodhag6824 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it makes me a little bit angry that he is misinforming people like that. The bios typically handles startup, does a POST-check and loads the bootstrapper, which then in multiple stages loads the operating system kernel that handles not only all of the I/O but also all software-hardware interaction.

      Actually, MEMZ trojan virus, made as a Viewer Made Malware for danooct1 has became very popular and it started to spread quite vastly, mostly as part of intentionally harmless prank (that turned out to be unintentionally devastating). Kids happen to install this virus in school computers, office workers tried to prank their co-workers with this virus, and of course it has done damage in home computers as well (simply trolling dad or brother using a computer)...
      Yea, it might be meant as a joke, but it actually turns out to be quite harmful and devastating. It's like lighting a forrest and watch the blaze spread far for fun...

The guy that wrote the virus also helped a ton with the cleanup and was actually a really smart guy. CIH is probably one of my favorite viruses. I'm glad you put it on this one. If you wanna see an actual computer get destroyed by CIH watch the video by danooct1.
