Does anyone else feel like this? I'm thinking of just going back to Linux for peace of mind.

I know. Pointless as I may have an undetectable threat. You just can't win.

No. I don't even have an anti-virus. Living on the edge.

who cares if my desktop gets infected?

all it's used for is gaymen and animu anyways

>Does anyone else feel like this?
No, because I don't run random EXEs downloaded off blog sites and youtube links.

>>51800856
Me neither but I still feel something is there. I know those hard drive sounds are just indexing and defragmenting in the background right?
>>
>>51800719

No because I only run trusted software. If I ever run some pirate shit I usually format shortly after.

There's nothing to worry about. Windows is secure. Microsoft just closed the last remaining security issues a few days ago. There are no more flaws.
>>
>>51800719
I'm the opposite. I feel confident that I have zero malware and I never scan ever
>>
>>51800719
no i don't even use mse
commonsense is more then enough protection
>>
>>51800832
This is not the correct attitude.
Idiots like you only further malware infection rates
>>
>>51800719
Wrong board, dumb frogposter, this is not /b/, take you meme garbage there.

>>51801004
The ride never ends.

>>51801329
No those were the last flaws. Windows is now secure

I'm a freetard setting up some normie machines for christmas.

Putting windows 7 on them and I probably need some sort of protection beyond Common Sense 2015 because I think they're too stupid to run uMatrix.

What do you use? Preferably something that can run automatically etc and they don't have to launch manually.

AVG

I just installed Windows fresh (manufacturer version) and some malware was attached to svchost process. I don't know how this happened. I only installed a few things like Steam and other safe programs. Fuck Windows.
>>
>>51801619
>steam
>safe
Nobody can reasonably verify that because it's proprietary software.

I believe you're describing Windows itself.

Reminder to buy Windows, Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs

>>51800719
I have not had an anti virus in 4 years.

>>51800719

Define reasonably reasonably

>>51803126
One could theoretically reverse engineer all of Steam but it's extremely labor intensive if not impossible for a single person due to the constant updates. Short, it's unreasonable.
Reading source code is much faster than disassembling and interpretings Assembler

That's part of the ride of using windows
