Is computer virus extinct?
| >*) before the linux users are seething, it's not my fault all print shops use windows ok?
| I miss WinXP. I do not miss XP's vulnerability to viruses. You can use XP safely now because it's not targeted much anymore.
| Windows disabled auto run
| It was a "feature" from Microsoft not something the virus was doing so yeah if course they're not as common
| Viruses have mostly just changed instead of trying to lock up your computer or mess with you in some way they mine crypto and steal your discord login tokens

Windows is a fucking slog as far as printers are concerned and working around it is the bread and butter of tier 1 helpdesk.
| >>975332 that actually makes sense. Instead of locking you up they gaslight you, just like my imaginary exes :(
| Out*
| I miss the days when a virus would change my background to scare child me. What a social time

| I went to a print shop yesterday and miraculously my usb isn't infected by some autorun garbage like during WinXP~Win7* era
so I think, that's it. Virus computers are gone. We beat them.
