I once got Top 7 Luxury Cruise in (Landlocked) Czech Republic from Microsoft. Also, The Flight Price From %user.location% (village of 200 people) To New York Will Surprise You

Thanks. I should have checked earlier before making a fool of myself. A lesson for me, I guess.

Thanks. Maybe I should go buy another emotional support Blåhaj, the big one this time.

Very wholesome thread for someone who could well be an IRL Joker and @ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world.

Oh, and I love the community you moderate. Better fuel Huel!

Thank you for your kind words.

Hardship is part of life. I have more than I would like right now but that's just how I am. Dunno, maybe should place myself preventively on suicide watch.

At least it's a temporary, below minimum wage job so I don't mind too much if the computer goes up in flames and I get fired. It will get wiped for the next wagie anyway.

MSER does not uninstall Edge BTW

Thanks, finally someome who understands (I don't mind that you disagree, lots of people IRL do)

That's what 1990s malware does. Modern malware either shows its own ads in your face (adware) or is stealthy while it mines crypto, exfiltrates your passwords / credit card info or encrypts all personal files.

You're like WestEnd in this thread. Don't take ot personally, I don't blame you for the confusion, there is a lot of misleading media about malware behavior.

your web browser

That would be Firefox, and it works fine.

B, of course, I don’t want every install to take 4 hours.

For antivirus, the company provides ESET but I also use VirusTotal and a WIP common sense engine.

Joke's on me, I already have (accidentally 😅) deleted essential Linux files before. Fun times. I knew I was to blame though, it was a learning experience.

Maybe I’ll try to figure out what exactly I did wrong so I learn more than just “don't poke” (which I wouldn't stop doing anyway).

Well, Task Manager nor attempting to delete the executable normally helped in my case. Power deleting Edge (including WebView) is obviously a bad idea but faster than finding whatever mistake I made that led to this behavior. I can afford to do dumb stuff because the job is temporary, and I never downloaded any malware (according to VirusTotal) that would cause further problems.

Hey! The stakes are low and the consequences are mild annoyance at worst (unless I’ve downloaded actual malware, which is unlikely because I follow precautions). Yes, I mess around with systems I shouldn't but that's just another learning experience.
