App Review Avast Free (MAXIMUM) Lockdown vs 1,000 Malware Samples

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Would you have any interest in making a video that tests Avast's new "CyberCapture" efficacy by downloading multiple,specific malware samples directly from the internet (maybe using a VM)?
Even if you have no interest in performing such a test I would still be very interested in watching any future video's that you make:)


Sure the last video I did was pretty hard because of soon many samples and the VM itself was a little slow built if I get enough support and a site where I can get samples I would be fine.

A little off topic but can someone give me the link to the rules of the fourm? The link seemed dead last time I checked.

Hi, can you talk in the next review (if you will keep making them). Beside that, everything was good (next time mix the samples, try to get from different sources).

I am not really good at finding samples but if anyone is able to send an email to me I can get to work on a new video sooner or later.

Really good review and informative. But as few members suggested background noise is a bit of distraction. My ear drum literally blown away when you coughed which was an unexpected sound :D

I thought I turned off my Mic?! Lol I used to do YT videos in the past but never malware testing. :)

Next time, put AV in Gaming mode and run this command on CMD:

Code:
for %%i in (*.exe) do start "" /b "%%i"
