I have recently had some scary experiences with a youtube video and then clicking a link on a facebook news feed of a friend.
One was Rihanna's Hopeless place video, clicked what I thought was the 'official video' gave just a few seconds of the song and then showed a scary face with a scream....
The first one was a week or so ago, a car advert that never got released because there was a ghost....or so you were led to believe....then a scary face appeared to scare the hell out of the viewer.
Are these viruses or just pranks because of this time of year with Halloween next week?

Just pranks, nothing to worry about. Get's a bit boring though. The car one has been around for 4 years or so

There's also folks who upload music 'videos' which consist of a static screen or slideshow of pictures with an album track for a soundtrack.
What's the point of those?0 -
Happy Halloween? Ha, these have been around for some time now, all kind of scenario's. Dont be alarmed though they are harmless, just give you a good scare!
After all...they wouldn't have the same impact if they told you what you were about watch.
Not everything on YouTube is what it seems, remember that, browse safe and happy Halloween when it comes!Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.0
