Being careful is not enough, you also have to be competent. You can be careful all you want, I had to expain to an HNer earlier for example how .js files on windows are actually native executable scripts. Is a lay person supposed to know that for example?
- vasdae 3y agoA lay person should not be operating a computer. Even then, if you download a .js file and try to execute it you will get the MotW warning. https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/Microsoft/vulnerabilities/j/js-motw/calc-motw-warning.jpg https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/Microsoft/vulnerabil...
- _8j50 3y agoDepends, some containers like vhd and iso don'get the warning or archive formats not supported by windows like rar or 7z either. And that warning is very ineffective. > A lay person should not be operating a computer. This isn't the 60s. Computere are made and marketed for regular lay persons/general public.
