Who the fuck uses antivirus software on their computers/phones/etc. anymore?

IT SLOWS DOWN your machine heavily when you can simply just not be a boomer and avoid clicking links in your email telling you to download "updates" from some sketchy email that comes from a Nigerian pretending to be an Amazon login page to "verify you."

Only boomers/computer illiterates can do something as stupid as GETTING A VIRUS in 2023 on their computer, or especially their phone, by downloading/clicking/installing some BS link/attachment/etc. by thinking something is genuine, or unable to tell apart reliable shit from unreliable shit. It's the ultimate boomer test -- if you can handle a computer without fucking it up somehow, or using useless shit.

JFL if any of you seriously use antivirus, app guard/app scanners, or anything of that sort in 2022-2023.

Proof some zoomers/millenials might still have boomer in them if they do so, "protecting" their computer from their own stupid actions than being smarter lol you only make the experience worse/cuck yourself by putting endless crap on ur machine, only install what you need.

Sometimes is enough to simply click on a link and you can get a virus.

0 IT info i see. no operating system has that kind of exploit that allows the software to run without your permission to really harm you. most of the modern os'es dont have zero day exploits that will ALLOW A VIRUS TO BE CODED TO fuck your pc up without runnign it. you gotta run the software by your own will and clicks. so keep copign with false info. although use a chinese antivirus that is lightweight and basic (360 total security) just to make sure im not getting anything bad as a bundle to the file or sumn. i only click allow to the stuff that im sure its not a virus like CRACKfiles patchers and bypassers

I got a laptop destroyed with malware from nhentai of all places, it was a popup ad then my shit went black and then it stopped turning on after a restart. But I was dumb and didn't have ublock enabled in incognito. I only browse it on my phone now anyways @Zer0/∞

Lol, I studied computers since high-school, from 1996, I also went to computer college.
I had a virus that simply installed and took over my PC just by visiting a shady site(something with piracy, cracked software, stuff like that) - it also bypassed my antivirus. This was around a decade ago, when browsers were less safe, now they have built-in protection to prevent stuff like this from happening automatically.
Still, it doesn't hurt to be safe, than be sorry later...

you were sippin tea with moses back then at that date. nowadays modern stuff doesnt have such exploits that can allow people to run software automatically on browsers.
