and when you realize much of your early life you had to accept it was a porous sieve and AV/AM took precedence because WIN refused to address it, and that crap like nortons all brought their own malware into your system just to poison and rootkit you just to justify your yearly purchase of it. in fact WIN encouraged you bring as much unvetted software aboard for the computing experience. my machines were always plague-riddled boxes of crap and bloat. any moves you made in settings or registry to take control of your life were always undone by their crappy updates, getting KB’d to death since horrid vulnerabilities were discovered every second. all tightening down you did (remember Black Viper? I always disabled his recs) would get undone by yet another backdoor and services would be mysteriously turned on again yet after some other updates. WIN was never much fun, it was the only means to and end (surfing).
