Pretend like you’re setting up windows for your grand mother 600km away.
Windows gets a copy of suspect files? Yes please. Microsoft edge blocks connection if site is “dangerous”? Don’t mind if I do. Go into windows defender and turn on every single security setting. There are a lot of them.
After that, full scan when you go to bed every Sunday.
Check if your favorite app is available in Microsoft store and install from there if possible. Learn how to use kleopatra pgp and get the pgp keys from your developers and verify signatures when you download.
i have some fitgirl repacks that windows defender deletes so i just exclude them is that bad?
Yes. What's the point of using security software if you just bypass it? How do you know you're not allowing malware?
fitgirl is in fmhy it should be trusted
