I don't know why you are taking offense, I am only passing along a warning, and for your information, I am not at much risk. Linux has very good security, I have added security software installed and I am aware of where the dangers are most prevalent on the internet.

When I first began using the internet, I ran Windows, I ran NO anti-v***s, NO anti-malware, NO anti-spyware and I typically only had an issue with any of those when I deliberately contracted one in order to find it, study it and be able to instruct others how to rid themselves of it.

Since that point, things have changed, dangers increased, difficulty in finding, disabling and eliminating these forms of malware has gotten more difficult, I started resorting to protections to protect myself, I still rely on these protections though I need them far less running Linux. In fact, I typically use my Linux machines to "venture" into the danger zones on the internet to retrieve that which resides at places that others running windows should not "venture".

While it is possible for one to find a chink in the armor of ANY OS, rarely do any try with Linux, partially due to Linux's security, partially due to the fact that Windows being used by the majority, they can inflict much more harm with much less effort. Why target such a secure OS with limited users when there is a much easier target with far more users.

I meant no offense in offering the warning, I only wanted to make people aware of what I had found, If you took offense, I apologize, but it is only your safety and the safety of others I was concerned over.





Edit: Here is proof straight from Avast of what I said, https://blog.avast.com/update-to-the-ccleaner-5.33.6162-security-incident. If you do not wish to believe me, fine, I would suggest believing them though.

Edit #2: This also https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/avast-clarifies-details-surrounding-ccleaner-malware-incident/, this is where I found the above link. It also gives further information regarding fixing the issue.

And what does this part mean?

Personally I believe one should not be forced to say the pledge in it's amended form, remove the phrase "under god" and then I may support it being obligatory. The first amendment gives us the freedom of religion and if your chosen religion is that you have none at all, you should be free to practice your "religion" and not be forced to practice any other religion.

That may be the case where you live, it isn't the case everywhere. Of course I wouldn't know about my area as I am not in need of a new job at this time, perhaps if business slows...

I agree.

Ah, one that ONLY posts opinions feels they have the moral authority to attack one that DOES post facts supporting their "opinion". Interesting the way your mind works.

Can't find memes based on reality and so deranged that he must lash out at "lefties" so he puts f**e memes up to get his satisfaction but tells others to get a grip. Perhaps if you can't find anything to lash out at the "lefties" on, you could take up a new hobby, try reading, maybe you may find something with which you can legitimately lash out at the "lefties" with.

Wow, I've never heard of that college, where can I find COLLEGE, what state is COLLEGE located in? Since the photo is staged, the narrative likely is too.

I think the second video was way better than the first one.

Actually, people taking multiple jobs has no impact on unemployment rates, those figures are actually taken from those currently on unemployment and those actively searching for a job through the workforce development department. Other factors not taken into consideration in the unemployment rate is those that have run out of benefits, those that have opted for early retirement due to not being able to find a job in a reasonable time frame and/or have given up the search for a new job.

Piriform was sold to Avast, it was since that sale that the concerns have been rising. If you still have the Piriform version, keep it. If you don't have the Piriform version, install at own risk.

True.

What is with Sici and FSZ and all them posts? I don't bother with the threads of either of those two.

Yes, now that you mention it, I guess some have backed off some.

If you will look at some of my earlier posts, I was trying to push for some civility here, but I got trounced, I suppose that may have helped to lead me down the path to the dark side. I can be somewhat easily led to that dark side.

To your mind perhaps, not quite so for those that can truly see common sense for what it really is though.
