Google & Youtube flagged as Malicious! 🚨
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I received a message from a family member this morning saying that Google and Youtube has been flagged as Malicious!
I looked it up to see if I can find anything about it, and a few articles popped up (using bing, not google to search).

Has anyone else heard this or have any other information on this?
There's no Linux version for my most important programs. Having Windows on my computer doesn't mean I'm supporting the company. :) I have lots of CDs with all the versions of Windows. A lot of software comes from unusual sources. For example, I took a Visual Basic course years ago, and we were all given the full software for free. I can also clone hard drives. I can't afford to pay a lot for software, so I don't. Most of the software I use a lot was either free, or very old but does exactly what I want. I use GIMP almost every day.
I know there's "literally an alternative," but if those alternatives won't do what I want, they are useless. I have special software needs.
