[lokamoka820]

MalwareTips has a similar layout to Reddit in the way that you can browse posts by new, popular, and other subcategories. Users will share news related to privacy and security with links to various publications around the web. You also have easy access to cybersecurity news if you click on the News tab.

MalwareTips lets you browse forum posts based on both security and tech news. The forum has a few news-related posts per day on average, but you won’t necessarily see daily content. Nonetheless, it’s worth checking out once per week to stay updated with what’s going on. Besides reading the forum’s posts, you can reduce your chances of infecting your device by understanding the most common sources of malware.

There have been days when I have used google for a security question and MT was the first result. We are often times the only source that is even discussing rare malware and anti-malware.

This is not strange to me because it is now part of Valnet, which is similar to Avast in its business model but in publishing and media sector, but the writers are freelancers and have their own views.

I find they often have useful information when researching an issue.

I was following MUO and How-To Geek for decades now, when they were completely independent, but now they are all part of Valnet, but their reviews still the same.

Great to be part of the forum, however unhappy to see them recommending Malwarebytes Premium as a Kaspersky alternative.

I didn't know. I visited that site and somewhat ironically, it showed a very nice result. LOL.

A forum is a mixture of facts and opinions. In which category would you put your post?

Unfortunately, political views these days affect everything, not just security products.

And that's totally expected. Because politics affects every single aspect of our lives whether we liked it or not. The sooner people realize this, the better.

Why are we checking this website for malware? Are we really that paranoid?

MUO is trusted website, founded in 2007. When you stumble on some issue, one of the first results on Google is exactly this website. Helped me many, many times.

But it wasn't about Phishing or Malware, just ads and trackers blocked?

This isn't paranoia; it's security awareness.

The questionable source provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how to critically evaluate information beyond surface level."

But it wasn't about Phishing or Malware, just ads and trackers blocked?

I addressed both points in my previous response.
