>>748632559>i have nothing to stealyou can always become a part of botnet, you will never realize you even are unless some websites just stop accepting your connection requests, just like thousands of those "smart" devices all over the world
>>748632632Thats when i format my pc.Takes like 2 hours tops
>>748632494Don’t you have to download it first before it will scan it?
>>748632694>two hours tops Redownloading everything sounds like a pain in the ass unless you have fast internet (which I don’t)
>>748632731>Don’t you have to download it first before it will scan it?99% of malware needs to be executed first to be able to do anything at all, either by tricking you into running it or having another regular non infected process on your machine do itother 1% are exploits and vulnerabilities
