When I see a security-focused channel talking about a "Clean laptop" with "nothing installed," I assume they have wiped it and installed Windows 11 with an ISO. I mean, otherwise these results would seem perfectly ordinary and wouldn't be raising an alarm.



They have not wiped it. 15 seconds into the video they say "What happens when you buy a new laptop and open it for the first time". Not many seconds later they show that the computer makes request to google and has McAfee installed. I am sorry, but the first thing a clean windows devices does is not to make requests to google and it will not have 3rd party anti virus installed.
