[QUOTE="ChoiceVoice, post: 890812, member: 28876"] a trustworthy company from a trustworthy country. i mean, if the hell's angels made an AV solution, who would be ignorant enough to use it? if a person lived in a country where they could be killed or imprisoned for having a particular political or religious belief, and that country had an AV solution that scanned your system and uploaded it for analysis ... you could end up dead. in some of those countries, the government has complete access to all that data. and in others, someone working at the AV could report you for something on your system that violates some blasphemy laws. with me, I don't have to worry about that dynamic, but still, why would I support such an AV? and on a level that does affect me ... imagine if north Korea made an AV, and we know that they are hacking bitcoin exchanges, would you use such an AV if you had bitcoin, or were doing online banking, or etc? I've always suspected that there is a small group of people that have had their bitcoin lifted from their systems, that run suspect software from untrustworthy companies. and they don't even know what happened, only that they were hacked. and possibly hacked by software that they paid for, lol. the irony.
