I haven't had a virus problem since the days of Windows 2000.
I've had an incredible number of problems caused by antivirus software interfering with legitimate software.
- encryptluks2 5y agoNone that you know of. I think virus creators have probably adapted from breaking things to silently collect information.
- tupac_speedrap 5y agoThey already have, most AV software nowadays is adware. If you are lucky they'll just slurp your data and maybe get you to install Chrome or some other random piece of software but some are even using your PC to mine cryptocurrency nowadays.
- seanw444 5y agoWord. Silent data farming is certainly worth more in the long run than ransomware encrypting the whole disk of some John Doe.
- bartimus 5y agoBut wouldn't those infections be detected eventually? They would need to update/hide their "solution" every time A/V software comes with updates to detect them. It would be too late already.
- shaunpud 5y agoYou're amazing... So I guess you've never had to help a family member clean their system of said virus/malware/adware?
