[6] White often prefers demonstrating viruses for DOS and early versions of Microsoft Windows, as their payloads tend to be the most technically and audio-visually creative, in his view.

By contrast, viruses since the mid-2000s have largely been "financially motivated", according to White,[7] with most being in the ransomware genre, in which the malware attempts to extort victims for money by encrypting the contents of their hard drive until a ransom is paid.

[2] White's viewers also tend to prefer more vintage viruses, with his most popular video being a demonstration of YouAreAnIdiot, a Trojan horse for Windows 9x; as of 2021[update], it has amassed 4.5 million views.
