Antivirus software is just as bad as the news these days.
It gives so many false positives you can't trust it.
If I have a crack for a pirated game, it calls that a virus.
This is fucking dangerous because that's a likely place for an ACTUAL virus, but since they're just blocking it for being a crack, I disable the AV for that file.
It's not their job to tell me not to crack games or visit a website. It's their job to tell me if THAT WILL HARM MY COMPUTER.
A company not liking something is not at all the same as it actually being harmful to my computer.
All these tech companies are fucking terrible these days. Google's job is to tell me where things are online, not to tell me which ones are true or false.
AV's job is to tell me if I have a virus, not that such and such behavior is right or wrong.
I miss the days where we controlled our machines rather than our machines trying to control us.
