Malware False Positive Attack

[odius]

Literally every major malware "safety" software is a fucking scam. If you aren't a literal retard, a child, or someone who was born before electricity existed then it's ez pz to just not download shady shit if you don't want malware. I haven't used any safety software in 3 years and haven't downloaded any malware since.

I think I'm gonna give Avira a try. If they're not jumping on the hysteria train over coin miners, they just became the default best. I never imagined that I'd be making this choice based on which service isn't being suckered into a political agenda.

No issues with Avira and any false positive with this site. Just remember to cut what they want to install down to the needed bare minimum. Opt out of everything not needed and you should find Avira to be a reliable, well supported piece of software all for the price of nix.

Well sure, and if you don't want STDs/kids, just don't have sex. Condoms are such a fucking scam, amirite?

The shady shit is fun. Take proper precautions, and you can partake of the fun safely.

Besides, repairing virus infestations is a nightmare. If I can install a piece of background software to avoid even the chance of ever having to do that shit again, I'm sold.

I honestly can't think of a single thing that you'd want to download that is inherently virus infested. Even pirating shit is easy to go through without downloading malware by having a basic awareness of what blatant malware looks like.

Hopefully this isn't (((@Null ))) trying to pull some kind of shifty Jew trick...

There are ways to insert malware into legitimate software, you know.

I use Kaspersky because it came free with my internet banking a few years back and it turned out to be a lifetime licence key for it.

Also lol @ Sam for combing court records for Null changing his name. The man really has nothing better to do, does he.

Background bitcoin mining is malware though.

 

[Jonas]

people who use avg shouldn't be on the internet at all tbh

Background bitcoin mining is malware though.

How is an optional feature that the end-user has full control over any kind of malicious? Moreover, how does this optional feature that a user may disable at will cause damage to any computers?

uBlock Origin is by far the most aggressive. To even use the site you have to thoroughly whitelist it.

My uBlock works perfectly fine, without any whitelists. Also using Disconnect and HTTPS Everywhere.
Maybe old versions that don't have a separate module for "resource abuse" end up blocking the page.

Also since it's came up:

1. Install EMET. Set everything to Application Opt Out. Certificate Trust is a big one. Always have that enabled.
2. Install uBlock Origin, Disconnect, HTTPS Everywhere, and Decentraleyes
3. Never install the JPN adblock filters, it breaks way too many sites. But certainly do enable the filters I've checked in my screenshot.
4. Consider switching from Chrome/Firefox to Waterfox. It's complicated, but I've my reasons to do so.
5. All you need is Windows Defender and common sense. Don't open up r_kelly_ignition_remix.exe, that's not even the proper filetype for audio! (Actually I have fallen for the .exe and setting the icon to the MP3 icon trick one time)
6. Flash and Adobe Reader are common vectors for malware. Don't open up random PDFs.
7. Torrents: between a random user and one with a pink or green skull next to their name, chose the one with the skull (on TPB). Also, read the comments on the torrent page.

can't be annoyed when anti-malware fucks your shit if you don't have it in the first place

He should take necking himself more seriously.

He'd need a good rope. Not one of those shitty Wal-Mart ropes.

Because he's fat.

You really can't, though. Most of the really nasty shit is going to be zero days that hit before the AV guys have had a shot at fixing it. Using Nazi settings for everything and then whitelisting things one by one is going to stop most everything.

I'll add this for anyone who's using company time to run KF in the background :
If you're running the miner at 100% on company/work hardware that requires a mainstream virus protection on there, just set it to be disabled during work hours. That way, Null gets his much deserved shekels and you please your slavedrivers.

lmao just get a mac

As I've said before, if it comes down to working menial labor and keeping the site up, or changing my name and closing the site to go work a standard 40 hour a week gig, I'm doing the latter. I'm not going to stack boxes so you can shitpost. If that bothers you, please leave. No one will miss you.

You wanna clarify this bit right here, please? 'Cause from where I'm sitting it seems like there's no incentive to let you run your miner if sometime in the next year or two you're gonna close up shop and disappear no matter what if you get a job offer. I mean, I'd see your point of view if this place were just some moneypit trying to fly on ads in the age of adblock, but I got the impression your Monero experiment was performing well above the going rate you would get from ads alone.

Getting a job in web programming isn't as unlikely as you seem to think, unless I'm missing something and your adventures with that miserable crippled shithead actually left you with a record.

You wanna clarify your question? I don't even know what you're asking.

Is this why my webpage shows up weirdly when I'm not in incognito?
