all of us have heared about youtube right???i lately stumbled upon malware on youtube…all of you will read this will say what?what are u bluffing???malware on youtube???..yes malware
i like seeing antivirus videos on youtube since i was sure of staying away from malware…2 days ago i searched for mrizos videos and i went to last page of results and i found the related link …NATURALLY any normal user will click on the video he wants to see…i did so…unfortunately my thinking was wrong…malware is on there and everywhere…what the???
…it took me to a infected youtube video site…luckily my loyal antivirus was there for me…guess who???..avast!..it immediately popped up saying that it blocked malware…infection:BV-Keyboarddisable-A…NOW I KNOW NO PLACE ON THE INTERNET IS SAFE!!!BE VERY VERY CAREFULL!!! OF WHAT U CLICK WHEREVER U ARE ON THE INTERNET…HAVE A GOOD ANTIVIRUS…LIKE AVAST!..STAY PROTECTED…
Avast reports a virus.Nevertheless,it is not a virus,avast reports a virus because the malicious code is at the description of the vid.As far as i remember,months ago,if you’d write a malicious code(script for example)and save it as a .txt(not .vbs) file avast would detect the txt file as a virus even if it’s not.
IMO the code in the description triggers avast.
Come on this is not even a virus,just stupid commands,he posted a batch code,this is not malware.
Ofc it is possible to inject codes,i-frames etc.They will find a way for sure.
To-day there is rip-off pages and Fake YouTube using exploit CVE-2010-3338
Malicious YouTube can install trojans via a malicious Java applet, there are Fake YouTube security checks etc. etc.
Probably the malcreants will leave your Mom’s hot kitchen stove alone and are into brewing and cooking up quite other malware dishes, also on YouTube,
