Fake Antivirus being used to sell real McAfee 

he is already, he was selling gardio extension

​@@yoppindiaI didn't even realize (Sponsorblock). But yeah that's the thing with most RU-vidrs today, when the RU-vid money isn't enough, just accept every sponsorship, even if the product is trash.

Follow the money

@@yoppindia more ironic is that guardio installed extensions without the customers knowledge and got caught

@@yoppindia What are the risk with Gardio?

Desktop notifications from a web browser is the most worthless feature on Windows 10/11 I've seen.

mostly for RU-vid,social media and forums that are available only in the internet

Ublock

@@lussor1 ..origin

ublock origin my beloved

AdGuard is king!

@@CrucialConflict. Thats not a browser ad blocking, just DNS

The company is better off ditching Chrome on their Android phones because Google decided to not allow extensions like the pc version and I doubt they ever well.

Kiwi is a good alternative since it's chromium and allow plugins from chrome so uBlock and all that

Wow it's almost like that's his job or something.

you probably don't have neither of the folloing: 1. No Pi hole or any similar local server for clean internet access 2. No secure DNS, no content filter 3. no malware blocker list 4. no AD remover tool/extension You might just have an antivirus, so it makes all the job for your unfiltered internet traffic, which nowadays is a mess

​@user-od4gs3iu4t "haha nerd i hav malwarebytez and u dont" Who asked for your comment brother

​@@user-od4gs3iu4tokay unc no way lil bro is that scared of scams 😭🙏

In fairness John McAfee is pretty unhinged and psychotic himself.

Buy a windows license is already a scam, I usually just scour in the internet just searching for those windows key license list

SAAAAR DO NOT REDEEM

Man you shouldn't be ashamed by the fact that India is a big nation. A lot of people, a lot of scammers

Blah blah blah ...;cheers cheers cheers....product placement hyping up...blah blah blah....just use one of these free ones - they work great,doing the exact same thing for free : uBlock origin; AdGuard ; AdBlock...and Privacy Badger

This has nothing to do with Microsoft. Ubuntu has a notification API with the same capabilities. Edge is just Chrome, and Firefox does the same.

well there is a difference. Typical linux user knows how to make internet browsing safer place, so firefox is likely hardened. Win user is likely not aware of anything like this, so will be using a browser with default settings, which are not that secure or private. Even installing a firefox on any platform including windows nowadays probably means that the person has understanding why to go with it

​@@user-od4gs3iu4t hardened browser making easier to track you. For example you disabled weak TLS cipher suites, great now you have almost unique ja3 hash. Same goes with disabled webrtc, blocked scripts and so on. The more you deviate from average user the easier for them to identify you.

@@x-user3462 for many tasks it doesn't matter if I'm tracked or not. I don't want to be tracked e.g. if I look for information about health issues, but I don't care if I'm tracked when visiting yt. The worst comes with social networks and cookies that you accept (or avoid, or block) them, because they are everywhere on the web. And if you want to avoid them, you need to block them. Simply hardening web browser is not enough. When you need a private (and also enhanced security) session, it's rather advisable to use Mullvad (with some VPN) or ultimately Tor. This is what I could recommend as an optimal approach. As for using "noscript" and similar extensions, they are for enhanced security

​@user-od4gs3iu4t I mean; not always. I downloaded firefox intially solely because chrome was being slow and trying a different browser is the obvious thing to try.

Also always use ad-blockers For All platforms: Ublock Origin for Android: Nextcloud RethinkDns

or get "noscript" extension which will make most of the job for you, still allowing all the functionality on trustworthy web sites

@@user-od4gs3iu4t glad for you, but blocked annoying requests doesn't mean that i can't allow this things on web sites where i need it.

@@user-od4gs3iu4t but I can allow this functionality on web sites where I need it without any extensions.

it's reasonably good for its price, i.e. for free. It doesn't have a lot of configurations, unless you use some 3rd party soft, and does not give you any advance protection. So if you want to have any (not only win defender) antivirus, you better use some additional security utilities, and content blocker. A good pack is Portmaster from Safing. It's a firewall, secure DNS configuration tool, content blocker and some more useful features, all most of the features are for free. If you want to go even one step further, a good HIPS utility is recommended, like COMODO

lol good one

I have windows 11 and have never had to mess with task manager and edge doesn't start with windows for me.There should be settings within edge that prevents the browser from continuing to run in the background after closing edge and startup with windows.

@@ghostdragon2593 Yeah there should be. Did you have a point to make or are you doing the internet commenter thing...?

@@CaptApple No I'm saying there's edge settings you can tweak if your to lazy to look for yourself that's your problem. No need for task manager "45 years in computer industry guy"

@@ghostdragon2593 Of course. I'm LAZY. That's gotta be it.
