Why are you people soooooooooo worried about viruses? I think the last virus I got was on WindowsXP.

Pretty sure viruses don’t exist. I’m using a windows 7 pc for 10 years, and the only virus protection is whatever they put on windows 7 by default, with no updates ever, and I STILL don’t get viruses. I’m at a point where it seems like virus makers just gave up.

Edge and Chrome are the viruses.

You get that idea because no one actually browses the internet anymore. All people ever do is use fucking social Media and that’s about it. No one’s using Limewire to download porn/music, no one’s using warez websites anymore, there are trustworthy porn aggregators so no one needs to visit dubious websites anymore.

Viruses are still a thing, and as someone already mentioned, chrome and edge themselves are spyware. Phishing is the more prodominant modus operandi nowadays.
