   Avoid "cloud-based" antivirus and the like the plague. "Automatically uploads suspicious files to be scanned". Great, something that can arbitrarily steal any file from my computer. Can you spell "backdoor" children? (Note that Windows 10 can automatically send random bits of memory dump to MS as well in the event of a "crash". As well as giving MS the ability to delete random files from your computer as well.) https://shitposter.club/attachment/1768328

      Trump actually did something right here by banning Kaspersky AV (a cloud-based AV solution, with a Russian company) from US Federal networks. He should have gone further and banned any cloud-based AV. It's not really Russkies that are the issue here. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/kaspersky-banned-us-federal-networks,36111.html
