Ugh, antivirus on Windows keeps trying to manage the settings for me but I'm perfectly capable of that myself I only want it to scan for viruses and not for it to be my assistant

@stux The beauty of OSaaS is your computer is not yours. 🙄I miss Windows 7 Pro. IMO, that's when Microsoft peaked. Though, I'm thankful they went downhill fast after that. It forced me to learn a great deal I wouldn't have otherwise.They say necessity is the mother of all invention. Similarly, it's one of the greatest arbiters of positive change.

@stux it's that whole, "Don't make the people think, they hate that." mentality rearing it's ugly head.

@stux Man, try finding a calorie counting app. They want to get into every aspect of your life even if all you want is to know how many calories are in a hamburger.

@stux consider using an on-demand scanner like #Stinger then...And yes, #3rdParty #Antivirus on #Windows is just #DigitalSnakeoil at best if not outright #malware most of the time.
