They click on things they shouldn’t. I already know I shouldn’t. The end.
Not just from letting the computer run.
Explain why I don’t have any of these problems with my oh-so vulnerable 12 year old Windows 7 laptop?
"People have lost millions in crypto from shit like that. "
Sources. Links. Explain how it happened. So you’re claiming people with Windows 7 computers also have millions in crypto?
What?
Honestly not even worth wasting my time. As if there isn’t a billion news stories and websites explaining this shit already, and much better than I ever could. It honestly feels super strange even having this conversation in 2025. I guess there will always be people who refuse to understand the tech they use.
Why are you so aggressive? I get it, you like Windows 7. I liked it too at the time. Take a breath.
“I have no actual evidence, but it feels good to me.”
What’s agressive is forcing endless upgrades for no reason. No one can even provide a single source of evidence for these amazing Hollywood viruses besides “everyone knows” or urban legends. You don’t even check into what really happens and happily confirm your bias.
Like I said a million times, you have to purposely run an executable to get these amazing trojans and viruses. Windows 7 doesn’t magically pull them out of the ether and runs them with a 24 style countdown timer.
Answer:
“Computer viruses can be spread via email, with some even capable of hijacking email software to spread themselves. Others may attach to legitimate software, within software packs, or infect code, and other viruses can be downloaded from compromised application stores and infected code repositories.”
Try it yourself. No mention of Windows 7, all about USERS INSTALLING THEM.
People. INSTALL. THESE. THINGS. ACTIVELY
