                  Master, 18 Jun 2022Never trusted bill gates microsoft and spying google Microsoft has some parents on Android and the fact that Google is spying you even more than Microsoft. The biggest spy on Android is google play services, are you such ignorant about that?

                    'All platforms', so Linux isn't a platform, OK!...

                    But then again, there isn't much trust in Microsoft from the Linux community, especially when it comes to security and privacy. So, I can see the reasons. No loss there then...

                      when a windows update secretly turning on telemetry when tech savvy people opt out of data collection, is a bit shady at least.

                              I've never trusted Windows Security. I've been using Eset for 14 years.

                                    Something like avast is million times better than Windows defender.
                                    Only one worse thing than Microsoft defender is MC Afee which is usualy detected as a Malware for other serious antiviruses.
                                    And maybe Norton Antivirus. Norton antivirus aint bad i wanna say its maybe best protection anyone can get proble is the huge toll on your CPU regardless of device you using.
                                    It consumes most disk space most memory and ram and on older PCs barely working i mean nothing else will work as long as Norton Antivirus will be online.
