So I just discovered that SmartTube had malware in it (yay) and so I reset my Chromecast I had it set up on.

What is weird though is that when I reset it now it disconnects from the WiFi all the time like seriously every 10 mins or so AND the Mullvad app was showing up back on it but the thing is I didn’t reinstall it.

Is it possible this malware wasn’t wiped from the factory reset? Or am I just paranoid?

    Or factory reset and then don’t install SmartTube. Fool me once?

      YouTube is a fucking malware. I would rather install smartube than using YouTube. Times have changed , you’re data is safe with small hackers than giving it to google.

        I prefer my devices without any malware at all but you do you I guess.

          So no YouTube official app? You sound like someone who will go by anything a private company claims but hey you do you mate. In the name of your safety and security, please pay for YouTube premium while we gather fuck load of your browsing history and create a profile of you. But hey its for your safety and security.
