Omega-TI Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I recently had a recommendation for a website (not secure) with the url "syncterm.bbsdev.net". I downloaded the Windows version to check it out before considering the Linux version. Anyway after the download McAfee says okay, but Windows say's, "hold on a second buddy". Any of you guys have an opinion? "Go" or "No GO"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You can always reinstall windows if it's bad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Check it with virustotal.com, it's decent. It seems to like the URL but it's not clear to me if you downloaded software (it can scan zips off the web too). Microsoft's checks tend to be a little paranoid, and will flag anything that doesn't have a lot of data. It doesn't mean it's bad, it simply doesn't know and you're configured to warn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDMike Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I use win 7 in a VM and turn off updates, leave win 10 as host. Cutout all unnecessary services on win 7. Oh I'm a happy camper that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
