Yeah, then you just have to worry about Microsoft stealing your data.

Then don't use Microsoft and join the 4% linux gang.

Done and done. Only Windows system in my home is my partner's computer.

Agreed.

They're already stealing your data anyway. Might as well let them block others while they're at it.

Unfortunately the only way around that is to avoid computers

for what do you need any anti-virus at all?

[–] Son_of_dad 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Cause viruses exist

yeah, except they are either targeted towards large companies' infrastrusture or they are dumb and easy to detect. Also tell me, how long ago have you ever downloaded a file from any unfamilliar source? Even torrent trackers nowadays have moderation, also as they check their files. Why would you spend your PC resources on either paid or obviously selling your personal data piece of software? Only because you were told so?
