Anyone still using ESET? Never had an issue with them
the only virus that exists now is the activate windows watermark
Linus shows off money

What happened to Steve-O Linus, we want our Steve-O Linus back! he can sing old man river smoothly and is a perfect Tenor for a Barbershop quartet.
Ok wanna cry with me
Judgement day haha
Yea….uh I have Malwarebytes LIFETIME key and NIS w/180 day trail resetter!
Wouldn't a good ransomware encrypt application files too? i.e. Acronis backup images or any backup files?
(Edit: to fix typo)
Widows has a backup feature. Just in case this happens.
So why???
it was asking for ransom?!?!?!?
They can only encrypt the c drive right ??
I love your channel. Thank you for shedding some light into my field. I think awareness is VERY important. Thank you bro!
*Cringes at the thought of trying to upload a backup of my 45TB system. Hell even the 4TB main OS drive would take eons with the typical upload speeds being only 2-3 megabits.
Side note: Diskpart is a command line tool for disk management that ships with Windows. So actually, you did install Diskpart when installing Windows.
But unfortunately doesn't support Linux. Ugh
Plot twist: Linus makes ransomware
PandoTech can help
Please tell me he launched it in a VM…Poor Laptop 🙁
Just looked into this. It’ll only back up 250gb to cloud. With another $20 to do 500gb. I dunno about you guys, but just one of my drives is bigger than that
Wouldn't it be better to let you say allow as opposed to block?
or you just make sure you have no important file on your pc a that you always have a backup out of your pc
Funny, i am just making dick back up with Acronis TI
I know you joke about clickbait but the face is a bit too far Linus (or whatever editor came up with it)
Can you please provide a good recovery software ?
Diskpart comes with Windows Linus
big oof
what is up with the lines?
There is a name for this kind of video. It's called an infomercial.
I hope Acronis compensated you well for your credibility… Who do you think your demographic is?
"Defeat ransom ware!"
3 Minutes later
"…by restoring your files!"
So having a backup can save me from ransomware… Great? I'll make sure to remind my computer illiterate friends who are over 65??
Question: if you, say, do a full backup to an external hard drive… what's to stop wannacry from encrypting your backups?
I regularly do a full backup to an external using freefilesync but I keep that hard drive unplugged except when I'm doing the backup… Am I just being paranoid? 🙂
I been using Acronis since 2010 I also use DeepFreeze software to revert a computer back to normal basically a live sandbox :3
Of course this was sponsored video… Tsk Linus you little trickster.
Computer viruses can be avoided simply by educating users to not click strange links or popups.
yeah, but ransomwares activate sometimes even 6 months after infection, to counter backups…. what you gonna do then genious????
9.99
“Big oof” huh
Hey i have minesweeper highscores 😀 5:00
0:02 thats not unthinkable.
Everyone has ransomware deliberately in their pc, its called office 365, ms studio or windows.
Should do a video paying just to see if they release LOL
This might be good for my PMS system.
sooo why is this 5 min commercial better than… backing up your system?
Great stuff from Linus again. You can learn even more about how to defend yourself against ransomware in this video: https://youtu.be/SQlfP5MsktM
