http://www.freechocolate.com downloads chocolate to your nearest refrigerator!

There are malicious sites which offer downloading more hardware, or rather you could search anything on Web to download, and Google will never disappoint you.

I was going to say that. :(

Well, at least you wouldn't download a car, now, would you? :P

Can people even still get computer viruses.

It seems like computers come sold with the intention of preventing that. (built in antivirus software).

They're usually trials though sadly. If you buy an expensive computer a 1 month trial for the AV just seems like a ripoff to me.

Usually general sense while surfing in web, decent ad-blockers, some other extensions are enough to avoid viruses. Malware usually come through executables and downloads, so avoiding to download from unknown sources usually keeps us safe. Windows Defender in Windows 11 is decent enough, if not perfect. And nowadays HP is providing in-built Wolf Security in their laptops, though I am not sure how good that one is.

I had purchased Norton AV in the past, when I was not using Linux. And then I never felt that I am under trouble and system is infected. Although I did saw that Norton AV was doing some Quarantine work or similar sounding thing when I was visiting various websites; although I was not using any extensions on browsers at that time.

Google Chrome, by far is most unsafe browser, thanks to its popularity around. Hence it is most prone to get into troubles. Even Microsoft Edge is better than Chrome. I use Firefox browser only on my systems, including mobile. And it's just good enough to have.

Isn't Norton that one that comes with a built-in Bitcoin miner with the intent to use their customer's PCs to get some of these?

I don't understand bitcoin.

I understand it a bit. ^^

I understand the idea behind it, but it gives me the impression of a solution in search of a problem (as well as being a massive vehicle for scams).

I've never looked into bitcoin. Doesn't really interest me.

I guess that comes with their high-end plan, and I used the basic one. With that said, even the open-source Brave Browser also have their own crypto currency thing, which I never liked for an open-source project.

Nope, I am also seeing it and was caught with surprised when I didn't found 2KM egg icons vertically !

The Discord link was moved to the top panel. As a result all sections got moved up a spot.

This laptop came with McAfee, which seems to be okay so far.

Just send your NetNavi in if you have a computer virus :P

Since this is old Laptop with intel Pentium, since my PC went dead, I removed Windows 7 from this and had installed MX Linux. No issues of getting Virus.

 

[Megan]

You could still have one. Linux just doesn't really care much about Windows viruses. :P

I'm pretty much done with basegame Scarlet on my Ice types playthrough... only thing that's left is The Way Home.
Explored everywhere on the map, but I'll need to do that again for Area Zero afterward.

Also caught a shiny Tarountula while playing through it while still not having the shiny charm

Meanwhile I started to play Soul Silver this time, instead of Heart Gold. And it will take very long to time finish due to slow-slow movements and animations. Despite that I had played it earlier. This time I started with Chikorita to get tough challenge early on.
