Team windowsground
they split up the names, “Virus”, “Malware, “Ransomware”, “Bloatware”, so they can sell you different crap that all does what should never have been allowed in the first place. ALL of them are running aspects of software I never wanted. You can run Linux, a Barebone or bloatfree OS but then you have to give up functionality and any app / software you install will just re-Bloat your computer. someone doing something to you you didn’t want and against your will because they outpower you. It’s essentially rape (Cyber rape), Their defense even sounds like rapists in the 70s, “If they didn’t want it they didn’t HAVE to use a computer” . Your choices are, you can use a Ti-86 calculator from 1988, or become a victim to the “black mirror machine” (referencing Ep01 of Black mirror show where everyone’s lives are completely taken over by ads) .
