so big THANK YOU to BitDefender for sponsoring this video and just generally helping us make TechnoBuffalo videos possible so being gone for a week in internet time is like being gone for years I miss you to rewind while I was out of the office but I'm back and I watched it and it was very very cringe-worthy and kind of the Internet's all was turned into sometimes cringe-worthy videos we got tablets being bent we got phones being bent so we got phones being thrown off buildings all in the name of testing but I'm not seeing a lot of testing especially when it comes to the destruction is a brand new laptop that you just got maybe picked it up for the holidays maybe mom and dad finally caved and got you something new and shiny and you want to be smart with it you want to click links that you know we're gonna be safe when you're incognito mode going to sites that are approved it's a dangerous world out there so to prove a point about how easy it is to maybe infect your computer I'm gonna do what my parents sat me down before college and told me not to do so I'm gonna try to get some viruses we're gonna see if we can clean up those viruses to try to make your computer just a little bit safer so the moral here is don't be a John but let's learn how to protect our bits Windows 10 has some built-in antivirus it's called Windows Defender and for most basic protection it's pretty decent for this arguments though I'm gonna turn it off I'm gonna go completely unprotected into into the Internet all right so the first website we're gonna go to it sounds very innocuous nothing bad is gonna happen it's malware domain list.com so let's do that our websites on this domain should be considered dangerous if you do not know what you were doing here it's recommended you leave right away generally I don't know what I'm doing but hasn't stopped me from leaving this website is a resource for security professionals and enthusiasts well I am an enthusiast but not a professional so I'm gonna click some links this one's called Kings drove Viacom how in trojan they must be USC fans I need a virus please all right look this link says I can download more ram for my computer that's got to be legit we just blur the screen and try some like adults adult ii websites for the name of science i'm gonna go ahead and go to an in private window I'm not a kid today you are out loud so I am learning that there are singles near me that are excited to meet me but it's not okay so that got a little yacon graphic fast um Microsoft spyware risk where detected error number zero by eight zero zero seven two EE seven your computer has alerted us so they're saying we should call for support should we should we call for support I got a very alarming message on my computer that I was infected with a virus and I was gonna get up to three years in jail and to try to call this this number I don't I don't want to go to jail that was probably like overly dramatic I'm guessing you're not gonna be that stupid with your brand-new computer but you might go to websites that you don't know aren't trusted or you might download some links from an uncle that maybe you shouldn't be downloading and chances are with the new computer you'll find yourself in some sort of precarious situation with stuff on it that really you know you know what you did so BitDefender who respond to this video has a solution to not only protect you from yourself and in silly link clicking but also to get rid of some of the things that might behind a computer Lilla some added benefits like a full-blown VPN one of the big things you'll say isn't they called ransomware I actually got a ransomware letter saying they were going to tell my wife my horrible secret unless I sent two hundred dollars in Bitcoin to this wallet address this stuff happens and it can be terrifying if you don't know that much about computers this has ransomware perfections protect you from that stuff so you're not in a weird position where you gotta make me wonder did I did I do something did somebody actually record my webcam of me doing something perhaps a little private this is going to give you that next level of protection but defenders been around they offer best-in-class security there's apps available or for Windows Mac OS Android or iOS and you get one account to kind of protect what matters and I think most importantly if something does happen sometimes doesn't always happen at like 3:00 in the afternoon they offer 24/7 support to kind of help you figure out what you did to your computer and get it undone it's trusted by over 500 million users it'll work on whatever platform it'll work on Windows it'll work on Mac OS it'll work on iOS and Android it's just another layer of protection it's another layer of peace of mind as you start going out and computering so I think you can extend the life of your computer if you're smart with it and you're smart what you do something like BitDefender can help you get there and protect you from yourself and keep your bits safe we defended so if this sounds like something that you want to try but defenders giving away six months free trial so hit the link down below trying to get a shot six months free all right so we just wrecked that Lenovo didn't even see it coming but we've got a very nice virus free razor blade stealth here that has BitDefender installed we've got it up it's telling us we're out we're safe but I feel like we should test it and go to the same sites that we just went to that completely destroyed our poor Lenovo all right so let's see what happens this websites been reported as unsafe infected webpage detected another one websites been reported as unsafe let's check BitDefender records one minute ago good job BitDefender all right so if you take anything away from this like yes it wasn't add and we thank bit defender for sponsoring this video but think of it defender like a seatbelt you probably don't need it while you're out there driving very willing to risk going for a ride without it on it's kind of the same thing here you'll probably be fine on the internet without protecting your computer but that one time to get in the accident you're gonna be really happy you've got that seatbelt and you'll be really happy you've got fit defender installed it's not a lot of money keep your computer safe keeps your investments say if it keeps your parents from finding out what's going on on your computer keeps whatever you're doing to yourself which which I can personally attest to is a pretty solid thing to have so it's one bit of software it's easy to install you get a VPN it's trusted 24/7 support wear your seat belt try BitDefender Happy Holidays stay safe out there
