I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don’t even use chrome, i’ve switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

    The audacity to even ask! I ain’t even bothered by installing genuine versions of Windows anymore. All I’ll ever run is AME Windows. It’s basically Microsoft Windows but without Microsoft services. They recently changed a lot as they went from distributing ISO files to playbooks. You should definately check it out! https://ameliorated.io/

        Right? I’ve loved ever since they starting debloating ISOs and currently am on their last released ISO. Now though, with playbooks, it’s a bit more manual and also legal. Despite being in beta, it already looks and works quote well!

      I’ve been curious about this, but I am unsure what to use in place of Defender.

        In mind of the developer it’s about using your brain rather than relying on a anti-virus. Basically you don’t want to download shady stuff or cracks with no verification or testing, and never open a pdf that came in the mail. But yeah, just me on my own I guess.

          There was a time when I thought like you. I had no AV until Defender became a thing, and was fine. But these days I keep hearing about more and more exploits targeting your browser, or libraries in the OS that your image viewer might be using, etc etc.
