Dude let his sister play a game for an hour, and his performance went to shit afterwards. Turns out she had somehow installed a new rogue AV going around and it did this shit to scare him into buying.
Edit: forgot to add that it's called "Segurazo"

Conclusion: Never let anyone on your pc, or install linux and vim to prevent dumb users clicking on shiny .exe's

Nice 😁 my record was ~380 threats [various kinds]. Scanned with panda live cd so could not save the list for analysis :)

This makes me want to go ham and see just how many threats I can get.

People install random AV software 🤦‍♂️
Next you'll be telling me they click the ad banners that say "you are the 1 billionth visitor, give me your credit card and you can have a free iphone"

Oh... Did u ever clean students PCs... Once helped out to get rid of a large scale invasion...

Dick pics or other sexual content aus background....

More than 3 AVs which interfere

More than 10K of entriss

Sometimes 20plus of dialers

And don't. NO. NEVER. Open the browser history.

Believe me. Insane shit.

@IntrusionCM most places give kids about 5% of the power the kids flexed on that machine.

Unless you're me at age 14.

Then you just use a stupid fucking loophole to fuck shit up anyway.

Those are rookie numbers!!! I think the largest amount I've removed was slightly above 8K. The PC bluescreened shortly after...

Solution: create limited user account for sister, and don't give her the administrator password.

Unfortunately, most Windows users don't even know you can do that, let alone how.

@SomeNone because 90% of computer users have no need to do that.

They literally just wanna write emails, shop, browse and watch Netflix.

Why should they know all this shit whenever it ain't needed?

@Stuxnet this is what's called an "end-user"

@Puroguramingu it's not mine, dude doesn't know how that shit works.

@Puroguramingu at that time I was still experimenting with antiviruses.

Wow this is.
Something
Very very
Rare

Oh God why do people do stuff without knowing any of it

@C0D4
Okay that would be the drip to make the barrel overflow

@IntrusionCM
Reminds me of the middle school I went to.
Everyone had about 500mb on a partitioned network drive available to him/herself.

Yea.
Exactly that.
Porn, non school stuff, all of the mentioned.

I knew the student network administrator very well and he told me about the tons of crap they keep on there.

He got like 10 threat warnings per day thanks to GData.

>>> Why should they know all this shit whenever it ain't needed?

@Stuxnet This attitude is much of what's wrong in the computer world today. People want to use their computers without bothering to learn even the basics of how things work, or how they should be set up for a minimum of security. They treat their computers like appliances when they are far too complex to be treated like appliances.

@SomeNone no it's not.

What's wrong in this world are people that give two fucks how someone uses a piece of technology that person buys.
