I'm always trying to find new malware scanners to clutter up my poo poo. I just saw a thing that linked to Microsoft Safety Scanner, which I've never used before.

I followed the link, and the page looked so phony I had to do a double take. So I went and found another link to the same page from Microsoft. And it's still the same weird, old fashioned looking page, but whatever. I downloaded the exe, and now when I try to run it I get windows 10 Smart Scan telling me it doesn't recognize the publisher. What's going on here, and am I missing anything by not installing Safety Scanner?

This is all crazy person talk, right?

I had Windows 10 BSOD which I don't think I ever had with 7.

Dude, he was asking a question. There's absolutely no need to act like an rear end on your responses.

Your thread is really interesting, and I love what I've learned from it, but if you hate people asking questions perhaps this isn't the right format for you.

It's easier to get past the hostility if you picture him saying it in a nasal computer nerd voice I found.

What's better security for a gmail account, 2 step verification where you need a password and a code, or using my phone to sign in where it asks for my fingerprint?

Is the phone sign in easy to spoof? Are they both easy to spoof?

It seems like more and more it isn't exactly being tinfoil when most countries border crossings routinely mass download personal data off of smartphones

What countries do this?

The US for one.

Can you give me an example of this?

Cool thanks. Is this what that guy is worried about?
