I downloaded this 'Free Screensaver Pack' and I want to run it! Who does this virus scanner think it is? Quit telling me that its a bad idea and just goddamn do what I want you to.
If bad software exists I don't want my computer to warn me that it might be a bad idea to run it, I'd rather apple just creates a walled garden so I can don't even have the option to command my computer to do something bad.
- jasonlotito 15y agoThe problem is, people confuse prevention and warning. They complain about the exception, rather than the rule. Oddly, I see few complaints about browsing implementing phishing site protection and warnings about bad SSL certs, etc. After all, the browser should just take me to where I want to go and shouldn't get in the way. Right? =)
