ROTFL

That’s part of the clueless anyone else’s education, right? Learning the hard way? Well… at least they learn. Case closed.

The title of this article applies to free software: it might not save you if you are convinced that you must search for it with “linux download cracked without SMS”.

McAfee is a Virus itself – just try to uninstall it!

Removing the last bits of running McAfee processes (which, until removed conflict with a new Antivirus!) is getting about as taxing as removing the Google-Redirect Worm, or the Fake-Antivirus Worm.

Fuck McAfee. They were the last straw that pushed me to Linux.

I wonder how long until Linux running will no longer protect me from these types of threats?

Passwords? Screw you, if you need a pw for an “existing account”, you’re not getting squat from me. If you need me to register, you’re getting a randomly-generated string of characters saved in a personal database.

MP3s? Seriously? Even if they don’t contain a virus, they’re harmful, well, for the ears.

More importantly, Mint isn’t Ubuntu- which actually is the most popular distro as far as real statistics can judge (Distrowatch doesn’t count installs, just page views.) So all the Linux hipsters of the world use it so they can be part of the “Windows replacement Linux” counter-culture.
