« on: May 23, 2024, 09:54:06 PM »Windows is the most used desktop operating system by a large margin.
It also has the most malware of all platforms.
That's because it's been around for decades, and similarly viruses for it have also been around and working for decades as well because each Windows version is backwards-compatible with previous versions.
This means that viruses can easily be used to infect newer systems even as Microsoft pumps hotfix after hotfix.
What this means for you, is that most of these malware will contain crypto-stealers. You don't want one of those on your computer.
It is better to use Mac OS or Linux instead of Windows if you have any wallets.
I appreciate the fact that you take your time to update us on safety of our assets with respect to using our gadgets. I like the fact that you make out time for this and. I also believe many members here have been able to learn from you when it comes to safety and precautionary measures to follow.
But I am becoming more curious about antivirus that could be developed to prevent malwares from stealing our wallet information from our gadgets . Would this be possible to develop such antivirus specifically for wallet theft and hack detection?
