Re-iteration - My views on A.V software these days
Hi folks
I think my views on typical Consumer grade Anti Virus software these days is probably well known on these Forums - especially my loathing of Malwarebytes and McAfee (We all called it McAwful or Mc Hideous and it really killed computer systems with its abomniable throttling of computer resources).
Ms 's WD has so vastly improved these days I can't understand why anybody on HOME (Not Networked corporate machines) should be scared of using it.
There's 100% no reason to use these 3rd party products (designed for C20 problems) in C21anymore.
Just understand how Scamming works and protect yourself against that -- no A/V software can do that yet -- maybe in 50 years tha A.I -Artificial Intelligence systems - might be able to offer protection but currently it's not possible so please USE BRAIN.
However this might open a few eyes -- the McAfee owner / designer -- a product much beloved by corporate bosses -- might eventually end up in a jail cell.
OK he was speculating with "BitCoin " but would you really trust your security to these "Dodgy Dealing" characters,

And for the more moral of you -- at least Ms pays its taxes in places it opertates.
