Is this considered a bad thing? I mean I haven't had a computer virus in a decade, so it seems to be working.
- I'm no expert, but your browsers security features and windows defender probably play a role too
  
  MS thinks the new Teams is a virus. In Edge it asks if you're sure you want to keep the download, it could be harmful.
- It's not inherently bad, at least from the user's perspective, but Windows Defender will make you click "more info" or something before giving you the "run anyways" button since it thinks it's a risk. I've never gotten a virus doing this, though
  
  On MacOs it's so stupid. Instead of double-clicking on the new program to open it, you need to right-click and hit "Open" from the drop down menu. Only then does it even give you the option to open the program anyway.
  
  Because viruses fake a licence so they don't get detected that easily. Which means the extremely expensive license you have to buy from Microsoft is useless for actual security.
- I too enjoy having to get Microsoft's permission to execute a program that I wrote
  
  to be fair you're a terrible programmer
- What if your OS was the virus all along
Meanwhile Linux is like:
- This dude is way too cool to be from Linux
  
  He's using Arch btw.
  
  Hey, ouch! My hair.
- Was this a Vine back in the day? Something about diarrhea disguising itself as a fart?
Its from china
