[QUOTE="Aggravatorx, post: 878527, member: 5327"] hi, im not an expert but why install Discord now when they are having malware problems on what i have been reading There are different forms of Discord malware, and each has its own way of spreading and infecting your devices. [B]1. Corrupted Discord installation file[/B] Users can modify their Discord Javascript files. If a cybercriminal gains user permission, they can add malicious code to Discord's client files. Once users launch the file, they also execute the code. The hacker can then access the user's Discord data. This attack is particularly difficult to detect. Antivirus software will probably not recognize the corrupt code. However, if Discord detects that someone modified the files while it's updating, it warns the user and asks whether to continue to run the client. You can also check files manually for suspicious additions. You can find lots of info online on what to look for. this is the site [URL="https://nordvpn.com/blog/discord-malware/"]Discord malware explained[/URL] with more information like i said im no expert just trying to help it says uninstall and try to install again Discord in article but what im reading i would not install them until they figure there security out go to twitch or something else until then {my thoughts} sure members will respond with more input that can help you better this is just my thought on Discord right now [/QUOTE]
