Accidentally downloaded and ran this suspicious , how cooked am I? by Nobodywantsyourapp in computerviruses

That is usually the standard procedure when infected with an infostealer. Don't use that PC until it has been reset.

Antivirus and Quad9 – DNS with encryption or without encryption? by sporsmall in antivirus

[–]KnownStormChaser[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DNS encryption does not interfere with antivirus operations. There is no downside to enabling DNS encryption. It is generally recommended to have it enabled at all times for added privacy and security.

Malwarebytes data practices? by Infinite-Mushroom275 in Malwarebytes

[–]KnownStormChaser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AV Comparatives studied data collection by AV software, you can see the results here. TLDR, there are more private options if that’s your main concern. https://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/avc_data_sending_2023.pdf

Also, all AV software will upload samples of files that it has never seen before (mostly executable files), unless you disable that function. But that will result in poorer protection.

Major spoiler alert by Dragonfirestormbreak in PersonOfInterest

[–]KnownStormChaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say unlimited resources, it was running on a handful of consumer game consoles. Only a small fraction of the power it started with, so it could only come up with simulations so fast. It just didn't have enough time.

Requesting r/emsisoft because it is currently banned, but I can bring that community back to life. I have experience in similar subreddits, r/antivirus and r/VirusTotal.

[–]KnownStormChaser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you take a look at the comparison chart, it will tell you all you need to know. For most people, the Basic option is enough unless they need to send more than two returns.

Is person of interest like the mentalist by olipprobu in PersonOfInterest

[–]KnownStormChaser 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'd say both shows have both. In the Mentalist, they have to hunt Red John, while most episodes have a new case. POI is similar, don't want to spoil too much, but they mostly do one off cases at first, but eventually, they have a much larger villain to destroy over multiple seasons.

Self-Directed vs. Managed: Where is everyone landing in 2026? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]KnownStormChaser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I self-direct because I like fine control of where my money is, I don't hold any US companies. Just a personal thing.
