Is MBAM better, or is microsoft defender enough if you download from trusted sources?
Do you consider Nyaa safe? (I'd like to get a visual novel or two that I haven't purchased on steam yet)
Regarding other games, I always used pirate bay and I've been fine, 10 years ago though. Are the website listed in the wiki generally safe?

Considering the majority of malware we have to deal with nowadays, your best defenses are:
- A firewall that blocks everything by default. I use SimpleFirewall and give trust on a per executable basis.
- uBlockOrigin, because dear lord navigating some sites is almost impossible without blocking all that shit
- Avoid anything that asks for admin access
- Keep an eye on resource usage and be on the lookout for any weird looking processes.
There was one time I downloaded a piece of shit that started to encrypt my drive. Since the CPU fan started spinning loud, I immediately checked task manager, figured what was going on and ended the malicious root process. Next, it was time to scour my folders, especially inside
%appdata%, for any possible leftover executables. All clean, restart PC, everything was fine. I lost a couple of files, but nothing personal, just other downloads.ublockDefender
is this a new one? last Iheard gorhill was working on ublock origin
Ops, my bad, fixed
