Destroying Windows 10... with viruses.

i've been watching lots of Windows destruction videos on YouTube. Like Vinesauce, or Endermanch. and I thought to myself... how much malware could I stuff in one Virtual Machine until it breaks?

Ok, I suppose there is a limit but still, it would be fun. its not like its gonna... gonna anything as long i have a VPN, VM, running windows... on linux right? 


Here, I have a fresh clean install of windows 10. version 21H1.






I'll give myself a few days to manually fill this Virtual Machine up with garbage on the internet. Don't try any of this at home.

I first downloaded a couple of Desktop bugs on desktop, Bonzi Buddy, Dave plummer rogue antiviruses. I also found some opencandy installers (like uTorrent, Cheat engine, and Download Studio), which installed more garbage.



I also got dave plummer malware rogues on this machine, and two more modern malware, from endermanch's malware repository, just to spice things up a little bit.

Downloadly, which is a YouTube downloader, that mines your computer for cyptocurrency, and Walliant, which is another malware, that sells your IP address. (don't worry, i have a vpn, so it'll be okay.)


I'll be sure to update this thread with more screenshots, for now, i must stop there, there is a lot of small details that it might be best if I split them in different posts in this forum board!

Does having a program called "Ladybug on desktop" that makes a ladybug walk around your desktop really count as a virus? Its doing exactly what it said it would do and you chose to install it 

Unless its an evil ladybug that encrypts any files it walks over and makes you sing bad cover songs into the mic to unlock the file, that would be a pretty cool virus

yeah, because its... pretty intrusive.

there is also other varients, like butterfly on desktop, fly on desktop, cockroach on desktop...

I started by going to softonic. from there, I went to softonic. It's full of shovelware. Speaking of shovelware, its also the place where i'm gonna bloat internet explorer with SO MANY TOOLBARS.



I also got sidetracked by installing random modern malware over to this machine, of course, by the ads on the website 


Wow, what a blast from the past!

I started today by looking for Bandicam Cracks.

I quickly found a mediafire download link. mediafire is known to have the most juiciest, the most sketchiest ads.



okay, not really, since most of them seemed to only install potentially unwanted extensions...



I've decided that i'm just gonna be refreshing this page over and over again until i feel like going to a different browser, so i can find some more juicy ads.

Which... I've found one. this one is promising me free mcdonalds gift cards. 

and its also asking for permission to spam my notifications. might as well.



Unfortunately, this also means that will be getting lots of NSFW ads. for the sake of everyone sanity, i'll swipe away any notifications that appear to be... not safe for work, or just cut it out of the screenshot. (it wouldn't fit the vibe of this forum) 



I don't get the deal with these fake visual novels. they don't seem to do anything (or, doesn't seem like they do, since this is a vm).

Well, I already had to reinstall windows (TWICE!!) because one of the programs broke the start menu and action center. 



From the top!
