That's good to here that this program is protecting you from wasting time and money on games :)

The question is - will you listen to some program or to your desires? :)

hmmm... 🤔
If this is not supposed to be a joke, I think it might be that we misunderstood each other, as I was talking about the antivirus program that also protects me against malware, ransomware, phishing attempts and many other possibly harmful activities that one can come across over the Internet just by browsing.

I'm sorry if I am taking it maybe too serious, but a few years ago we had quite severe problem with our household devices being infected not being even aware of it until our Internet provider didn't disconnect us from the service for several weeks. As with regular antivirus programs (even most popular paid ones) we couldn't get rid of the infection, a friend of mine who is running a computer servicing company here, told me about this program. It wasn't a cheap one, but he told me if I wouldn't be able to get rid of the infection with it, I would be forced to format disks of all our devices from scratch, maybe even for several times if not entirely get rid of them and buy a new ones.

Having some data I would certainly loose that way, I wanted to avoid that scenario by all means. All of it even more because there was no point to copy those files elsewhere as we couldn't detect where (on which file) the bug was attached and how it spreads.

So, we finally bought that program and in contact with them I was told, in case if I wouldn't be able to get rid of the problem with the program normally, and if it's something new that even they don't have covered in their protection portfolio, they are going to assist until they find the way to cure the problem after what they would add this possible new protection to their regular portfolio. That way, through program updates, they would be able to enable all other their customers to protect their devices of that possibly new threat.

Fortunately, all of it wasn't needed as their program was wide and deep enough to detect and solve the problem.
During the process, I was afraid some software might not work properly after the cleaning as we didn't know how and on which file the bug was attached.
Luckily, the program is so laser precise that none of those possible bad scenarios didn't happen.

Being through all of these that besides time (several weeks) and money costed us quite amount of nerves either, not to mention being without Internet connection, and after cleaning thorough all our devices (including mobile phones), maybe you'll be able to understand better why it's not so funny to me when something like that occurs, although I feel quite safe now. Although, on the other hand, you never know as hackers doesn't sleep and every day come up with some new solutions, so one can never be careful enough.

Still, from the funny side, if there is some program that would protect me maybe more from wasting my time than money, it wouldn't be bad either. Although, as you said, I'm not sure I'm going to install it to use it against my desires. 😉 😀

Hey, sorry. Oprosti.

I struck a cord here, didn't I?

You can name the program.

I was a long time subscriber to several licenses of Avast until Windows 10 came. Now I am quite satisfied with their built-in security.

Sorry again.

Ma, sve 5! - Don't worry! It's OK! 😀 I didn't take it personally as it might sound. I just thought you maybe didn't understand why I am so "allergic" on those bugs.

Znaš, uvijek misliš da se to događa nekom drugom i da se tebi ne može. Ja sam si uvijek mislila, "Ma daj, pa ne radim ja ništa tako važno da bi nekom bila interesantna!" - I tak, dok nas nije pogodilo. Lik nas je rasturio, a ja još uvijek ne znam točno tko od nas i gdje je to pokupio, jer nam je cijeli kućni network bio zaražen. Sumnjam na neke crypto stranice koje sam bila posjećivala. Najgore je to što niti jedan od ovih drugih, kao normalnih antivirus programa, nije ništa ni primjetio, a kamo li javio.

Prijatelj kojeg sam spominjala da ima informatičku firmu, inače radi na održavanju sustava i to najvećih banaka ovdje, i nije ni najmanje neki vezer u poslu, ali ni on ni njegovi dečki (čak ni ovi "bijeli" hackeri) nisu uspjeli prokljuviti u kojem grmu leži zec, sve dok nisam stavila ovaj program.

The program is Malwarebytes. I'm using it now in combination with some other antivirus programs and cleaners (especially when I deinstall or reinstall some programs).

They have also free to download version which might be of use too, but for avoiding more serious treats I would certainly recomend their paid versions, especially for business. Home version is a bargin (around $100 US) just because it's worth 100 times of that price.

(Primjera radi, ja npr. više uopće ne idem na stranicu naših dnevnih novina "Jutranji list," jer imaju gore doliko phishing scamma da to nije normalno. A pazi, jedna od naših jačih novina. Ugl. čak kad i slučajno krenem tamo, jer me neki link redirektao ovaj Malware odmah skače k'o lud i to tako da to ne možeš ne vidjet, kao što je npr. kod ove igre bio slučaj, da samo nije htio izloadati dio stranice.)

No dobro, dosta više o tome! Mogla bi cijeli roman ispisati na tu temu, samo vezano uz taj naš slučaj. 😀
