in that stage its to late to do something

i just blame ignorants on windows, i am one myself, using hitmanpro and
malwarebytes, not yet clamwin, but i consider it when i possible drop malware
bytes with gives so many fp that i would love to get rid of windows :=)

hitmanpro is using virustotal api, uploading samples to them ? and check if its
clean in 60+ virus scanners ?

come on fidonet users is more cool then that ignorants
