  5. What can you tell me about the various SimCity Multi-Players Multi-Telephones Multi-Microphones Full Time Gamers Hackers X's across all Blood Types, across all Species, across all Universes, across all Realms, across all Dimensions?

  13. Just remembered: Vsauce (2? 3? I forgot) did a whole video explaining how social engineering works and its very interesting. Something that some people can pull off very well with good charisma

  15. i believe i had an adware on my pc at one point. randomly, and without my permission, it would open a thing for McAfee or whatever, with the worlds smallest close button, only able to be clicked on a certain page. my cousin also had this at one point, and i dont know if my pc is further compromised. thank you a ton for the video, to keep us all safe.

  18. Since you seem to be the type of guy that can help with this, every time I sign into my computer it says welcome and then the screen goes black. What could I possibly do to fix this?

  26. It would be worthwhile to make a virus tree at the end. in the center would be malware, which would be divided into different types, and some of them (like social engineering) – into another subtype (like phishing)
