I still find it hard to believe the audio glitch was accidental. Partly because you can still hear a low sound that seems like it would come straight out of a horror movie to ramp up tension, but also because the silent section has a lot of darkness, and glitching, and even a kind of weird unsettling close up of the guy's face in a dark room. And then of course the too-perfect timing of it cutting back in at "Or was this all just a coincidence?"

[@Mezocyclone]

[@matthewbrooks5470]

The low sound is likely room tone. You play it throughout the entirety of your video so your cuts are less noticeable.

[@charlessmith263]

So here is what happens. Phase 1 of the virus release is the irritating pop-ups. Then, Phase 2 worsens your outcome when you try to select "clean out viruses" or remove the pop-up windows. When you find out these attempts fail, Phase 3 makes things a lot lot worse when you try to uninstall the virus elements. It keeps on coming and coming and coming and coming (pop-ups and rogues). And when you try to continue to uninstall the malware --- FAREWELL! YOU DIE! The malware HITS THE 0 SECTOR AND THE MASTER BOOT RECORDS AND KILLS THEM! THEY ARE TERMINATED - AND YOUR COMPUTER IS ALSO TERMINATED! FOR GOOD!

[@voidangel]

i recall being in typing classes in kindergarten when goggle was in its hayday. the amount of posters warning about it at the time in my school’s computer lab was real. i witnessed a kid beside me mistype goggle into a searchbar in the effort to look up the website we were using for the typing program, and the amount of panic that took over in the few teachers we had acting as supervisors was insane. iirc, a few of the popups even had some robotic voice reading off the text on them at an insanely loud volume, so the teachers had to turn off the speakers manually to the computer while they tried to fix it, and the poor kid was so confused they were bawling. this video was a throwback for sure, thank you!

I remember our computer got infected with the Spy Sheriff ransomware from that website at that time. I emailed the malware authors asking them nicely to fix our computer, and weirdly enough, they did! They emailed me back with a free license key to remove the ransomware... Who would've thought? I can confirm that, in my experience, the website acted exactly like it did in that McAfee commercial (minus the dramatic music lol). It used some kind of exploit kit to take over the computer and install the Spy Sheriff ransomware within seconds, without any user interaction. Spy Sheriff wasn't your run-of-the-mill rogue AV either... It completely locked down your computer until you paid the license fee. It was effectively an early form of ransomware rather than mere scareware, like most other rogue AVs.

[@TheMagic1412]

Spy Sheriff sounds familiar. I think back in like 2006 or 2007 my grandfather installed it to my already adware infected computer (60+ popups that I was used to right clicking close all on for a few minutes until they stopped), it was disguised inside of a fake adware remover that he installed from cnet, which is a shadey enough place as is X,D Does Spy Sheriff have a scanner that makes it look like you got a Gazillion Trojans? I remember seeing a list of viruses that I had no clue how I had so many without doing anything, and my grandpa did a reinstall of the OS before grounding me from the computer.

[@TheMagic1412]

nvm just reached that part of the video. and yes it looks to be what was installed to my old PC, welp thats a decade old mystery solved for me lol. Sorry 4 bothering you lol

[@TapTapClick]

I had some kind of ransomware on one of my old pc back when I was on windows xp and I got lucky that coding hadn't made enough progress at the time to properly lock me out of my pc because I found a backdoor that would shut down the program and allow me to access my pc rather than being stuck with a ransomware program that wouldn't minimize or let me see my desktop. The way I got around it so I could delete the files it was attached to was simply just after I logged in but before the ransomware launched I'd launch some program that when you shut down the system or log out it brings up the 'these programs are stopping the computer from logging off do you want to close them' and then I would hit no but since they didn't give the ransomware the same kind of treatment it would have been shut down to start the logging off process and my computer was back in my control. Took me like 6 days to figure out what to do but thank god it worked. The ransomware I had was saying it was the FBI. But I've always ran my pc on the dangerous side with little to no antivirus (other than whatever windows provides)

[@enderger5308]

Also acts a bit like McAfee itself…

[@FlorenceSlugcat]

Its bullshit This youtuber is actually dramatizing the story alot, and made alot of it up. The real story is that, yes, the website was malicious, but it did not brick your computer. It only popped up alot of popups, which made it difficult to exit out of, and the popups could also lead to downloading viruses if you were to click them. But other than that, there was no “computer becomes instantly screwed by visiting goggle”

[@shockmazta3116]

It is bullshit. It's not real, just some shitty creepypasta.

[@stephenluttrell8958]

My money is on bullshit. Even at Google’s modern influence level, they can’t suppress news to this level. At best, they could bury it in their own search engine. But, if goggle was truly as distructive as the myth claims, not only would the news have blown up, but there would have been other sites stealing and using the exploit. There would be evidence of Microsoft making a mad scramble to patch the vulnerability. This was the mid aughts, not the dark ages. I bet the site actually existed. It was probably malicious. It probably had certain people nervous, and even panicking, but I doubt it was the computer destroying monster that the myth claims. It was probably the same level of menace that Bonzi Buddy was. I was an adult in 2006. I was just about to enter college a year later for an IT degree. No body I knew was even talking about this, and if there was a viral site someone in IT could trick another into visiting, it would have happened.

[@InfiniteGrenades]
