No, simply visiting a GitHub repository, even one containing malicious code, won't infect your computer. Infections occur when malicious code is executed on your system. Always be cautious and avoid downloading or running code you don't trust.

Have there been any exploits where you can have malicious scripts ran in your browser just by searching something up? Not going to a website

Simply searching for something online shouldn't run malicious scripts in your browser. However, there have been instances of "drive-by downloads" where malicious code is executed without user intervention, usually through compromised or malicious websites. Ensure your browser is updated and use reputable security software for protection.

No, POP (Post Office Protocol) is not enabled by default in Outlook. You have to manually set it up in the account settings if you want to use this protocol.

iCloud does not use POP; it uses IMAP by default. For Outlook and Gmail, you can stop email sync using POP by going into your account settings.

For Outlook:
1. Go to 'File' > 'Account Settings' > 'Account Settings'.
2. Select your account and click 'Change'.
3. Make sure the server type is not POP3.

For Gmail:
1. Go to 'Settings' > 'See all settings' > 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP'.
2. Under the 'POP download' section, select 'Disable POP'.

Remember to save changes.

How do I disable IMAP for all 3?
To disable IMAP:

1. iCloud: Apple does not provide an option to disable IMAP for iCloud.

2. Outlook: If you're using Outlook.com, you can't disable IMAP as it's required for the service to function.

3. Gmail: Go to 'Settings' > 'See all settings' > 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP'. In the 'IMAP access' section, select 'Disable IMAP'. Click 'Save Changes'.

Please note that disabling IMAP may affect your email accessibility across devices.

In the Outlook app, you can't directly disable IMAP as the app uses this protocol to sync your emails. But you can remove the account, which stops the sync. To do this:

1. Go to 'Settings' within the Outlook app.
2. Tap on the account you want to remove.
3. Scroll down and tap 'Delete Account'.
4. Confirm your decision.

Remember, this will remove the account and all its data from the app.

No, creating a brand account to merge YouTube channels doesn't grant access to emails. The brand account is specifically for managing the YouTube channel. It doesn't affect or provide access to other Google services like Gmail.

For Chrome:

2. Click on 'Camera' or 'Microphone' and you can change permissions for each site.

For Bing (on Microsoft Edge):
1. Go to 'Settings' > 'Site permissions'.
2. Click on 'Camera' or 'Microphone' to adjust permissions.

For iOS:
1. Go to 'Settings' > 'Safari' > 'Camera & Microphone Access'.
2. You can toggle off access completely or manage on a per-site basis.

Remember, Bing is a search engine and doesn't control permissions. The browser (like Edge, Chrome) controls these settings.

Would resetting browser settings and clearing cookies reset what websites have access?
Resetting browser settings to their original defaults can remove changes made to permissions, so it might revoke access for some sites. However, clearing cookies will not affect site permissions for camera and microphone, as these are stored separately from cookies. It's best to manually review these permissions in your browser settings for certainty.

If you have a rat spying on your camera, will they release the footage when the malware is removed or while it’s still installed?
A RAT (Remote Access Trojan) can potentially capture and transmit footage while it's active and installed on your device. Once the malware is removed, it should no longer be able to send any new data. However, any data captured and sent prior to its removal could still be in the possession of the attacker. It's crucial to remove such threats as soon as possible and consult with a cybersecurity professional to secure your device.
