For me that would be waaaay less often than weekly. Doing both would make some sense. Though a large sample like almost all OS users should mean everyone's week is different and an attack that involves multiple machines should start triggering reports very quickly.
- apetresc 9y agoThe article doesn't specify, but I assume that "weekly" means "one boot per week", right? The kinds of malware that this type of check is trying to prevent would easily circumvent an OS-level check, no? I assumed this weekly "check" would happen before the OS is loaded.
