Computer virus mass hysteria
I don’t know if it is just me, but I’m really sick and tired of the mass hysteria surrounding computer viruses. We aren’t in the early 2000s anymore where viruses were frantic from just opening emails and key logging your passwords and stuff. You can download all the EXE files containing malicious material in the world but it’s not going to do shit unless you manually run the file. You don’t need a $500 antivirus for that, just common sense, check the webpage you’re downloading from etc. And if you allow someone to remote into your computer, that’s not a virus that’s just you being stupid. How many times has a client come up to me with a Chromebook or iPhone telling me they have viruses on it. What??? Or a 10 year old pc they think they have viruses because it’s running slow. No shit it’s running slow, that hard drive is on its last legs. Then they get their pc back after MRI found some bs which may or may not be actual viruses and it’s still slow so they get mad. Your network has not been compromised and they are not hacking into your TV through the WiFi. Sorry for the rant I just wish people would do 5 minutes of research.
