So i downloaded Brave on windows 10 a few months ago and i remember that it was pretty easy without any hiccups but last week when i tried to download librewolf a message poped up saying that it may be harmful for your computer even tho i downloaded it from the official source

Is it just me or is microsoft getting more and more desperate to collect our data?

*Edit: Sorry it wasn’t bitdefender it was something like Antimalware service executable or something like that which i think is a microsoft product

      I switched to BD when the russian attacks on Ukraine started again, was using Kaspersky before, system runs like a dream. A friend was having difficulties with his pc, he was using nortons, I suggested he try BD. We cleaned his system, so much virus and malware, and he has had no slowdowns since. I recommend it, along with something that can still use ubo and privacy badger.

          Me either, trust is a hard thing with any of these companies, especially one that has proven it is untrustworthy. Source: Been using windows since it was an application masquerading as an operating system, read win 3.11. Almost done with em tho, almost
