Most impressive about this video was your presentation. While I knew much of this, there were still items to learn, and again the way you easily presented. It made it thoroughly enjoyable to watch the entire video.

What are the best malware software scanning sites?

[@djpuplex]

I forwarded this to my elderly father. Wish this channel would have either a second channel or channel series for the elderly. The approach and demeanor is picture perfect for older individuals.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Really appreciate that. I try to produce videos that I think my mom and dad would understand and benefit from.

I clicked on a ransom ware site once. It locked up my computer. Had a message saying to call some number to get it restored. I formatted my hard drive. Lost everything but computer worked like new.

Here's a tip guys just don't panic and run a virus scanner/antivirus in ur device then simply logout from all your banking apps from that device . Just don't forget to keep running the antivirus every single 2-3 hrs that day

In Google, the backup codes, is there a way to renew all the codes just incase a hacker has copied them?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yes, you can revoke them and request new ones.

for bitly links, if you add a + behind the url, it shows you the destination of the link instead of redirecting you.

I received a text message with a suspiscous link, I accidentally held the link as I was trying to verify the credibility of it and the website opened, I didn’t input any information and closed the page. Can I get malware from clicking a link and opening the website?.

in terms of step 1 ive incorporated a cheap little network switch splitter (about $5-$10 on amazon) leaving 1 of 2 outputs open to act as a physical kill switch. prior to implementing, ive also had a few accidental moments of concern or a situation that felt sus and having to reach behind my device or router to unplug was a little annoying. even though its a cheap attachment its still something of a lifesaver & peace of mind. #GameChanger

[@virtualthings9162]

Hi Josh !! Since I watched your videos for many years, I recommend you to make a review about antivirus software. Should we use it or should not? Does it help? that also respond this video. Online security , device security and much more.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Great suggestions. I honestly haven't found one that I love, which is why I've been so hesitant to recommend one. I'll keep looking.

i clicked on link and they took all money i had on my number (only number) and i did everything i knew for it to not happen again, now i checked everything again and nothing seems suspicious so am i safe?😅

[@stevenjb.9275]

I use the old school method if clicked on a link that goes a stray - X out of the browser (my browsers are configured to erase history and cache on exit). Scan with a malware program (responding to any issue if arise) then reboot the device and upon reboot re-scan with the malware software. Sometimes if unsure of a link I will right click (on Window PC) to bring up the menu that allows copying the link text. Paste that link text into a text editor and review the link pasted. If all good I then paste that link into the browser.

[@AllThingsSecured]

That sounds like a good plan. I think the only thing worth thinking about is how you're going to respond when this happens on a mobile device (and it will eventually). Do you have a way to scan your mobile?

While 2FA is good, humans are still the weakest link. There are people out there who even tell the scammers about the 2FA when talking over the phone! No matter how advance or powerful security measures can be, they can never erase the dumbness of humans.

[@AllThingsSecured]

100% correct. But that's also why I recommend 2FA keys as much as possible. You can tell people until you're blue in the fact that you have a 2FA key, but unless they physically have it in their possession, it doesn't matter at all.
