I’ve burned through a massive pile of them (strictly for my own collection 😬). Newest releases, oldest classics... nothing has failed yet. You just have to keep your software updated.

Matthew Miller14 said:I’ve been hearing this over and over, so I might as well just ask. People claim Defender is the top-tier choice among all antivirus software. My buddy $40 told me you can snag a two-year license pretty easily. Should I actually buy it? Or is there a way to just grab it online? Does anyone know where to find an original serial number? Any help would be appreciated.🙏

You aren't listening well, and they're lying to you.

Can you just tell me exactly what the BIOS setting says regarding disk power management?

If that doesn't fix it, then we're screwed.

Yeah, it's a virus. Pretty sure it's called Win32/Winad or maybe Morti, but it's definitely a virus.👍 👍 👍

The program protector works fine for me.

If you don't want to take risks, there isn't really any other way to do this without those tools...

PartitionMagic works perfectly fine and it's reliable enough.👍
