:donor: :clippy:@cR0w@infosec.exchange I read a peer-reviewed journal article that says installing antivirus is a cause of ../ism.

cR0w@reverseics@infosec.exchange Which part is real? The declaration? That it's peer journaled? Both seem likely.

a coworker of mine was once testing AV engines. this was a long while back. he named a piece of malware %s%s%s%s.exe and the av scanning engine crashed completely. it didn't check the file, and stopping all livescanning.
we are all going to die on this rock.
