[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1097690, member: 99014"] Everyone has long-term positive experience and everyone can share stories how they remained malware-free. I don’t know, it is a closed source software, I am unable to inspect the source. The user is telling you that the software did not work for them — that’s it. Period. When did you first start using computers, how you configured, who you impressed, all that is not relevant. The user said they experienced issues with the system, which sound more serious than a marketing pop-up, UI glitch or this sort of problem. There is no need to try “override” the comment of the user with your life stories and personal experiences, or ask additional comments and explanations. Not necessarily, it’s all down to your habits. Some people can be safe even without AV for years, others install various programs and activate various doohickeys and still end up infected, often silently. Needless to say that attackers will do their best to hide attack artefacts and even aggressive scanners will not always detect them. They are so “kind” that upon infecting you with infostealer/rat, they will even try to identify other stealers and RATs, and remove them. Sometimes it all comes down to luck as well. You know all these people on Titanic, they were all rich, with habits and whatnot. They didn’t have luck and… you know the story. [/QUOTE]
