[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 854739"] There is a difference between "safe" and "invincible". In you car you use a seatbelt and an airbag because it is safer for you and will help you survive a crash. You know they wont do much if a tank hit you at full force. Whatever people say, Win10 is safer than any previous version, reason why people should upgrade asap (if they are concerned about their security). you miss the one point, it is not only about being affected, it is being the vulnerability being fixed and not be used again. This is what being safe means. You got a sickness, you use a vaccine to cure it, and to prevent to catch it again. Of course ! that is the point of a [B][U]security [/U][/B]forum... you talk about the most worse case and how to protect yourself against it. it doesn't require to be victim to talk about it. In security forums who care about PUP and worms that get blocked by your average AV, no one. That is for general computer forums. That is security forum purpose, consider every aspects even the most improbable ones. Same as pentesters getting highly paid to find vulnerabilities that will probably be used against few systems. Are you annoyed by it? if yes , why are you here in the first place? Some do, that is the problem. Exactly but obsolete OS fans and advocate seems to always purposely "forget" this point. As if their awesome security tools will prevent a Kernel exploit like Eternal Blue...And about Eternal Blue, the thing isn't even dead yet, some malware writers still using it, perfectly knowing some organizations and individuals didn't patch their OS against it.
