  • I think its fair to be concerned.

    Microsoft offers the operating system for endpoints and a good number of servers

    They offer the office suite which I’m sure over 90% of companies use

    They offer file sharing solutions such as OneDrive and SharePoint which integrate natively with the office suite offering

    They offer the critical business services for creating accounts, managing devices, deploying software and updates, many of these features integrate natively with the operating system

    They offer security services, which again, integrate natively with the operating system.

    Its not impossible to find solutions to all of these, but finding reasonable alternatives that only work a fraction as good as some of the native features Microsoft offers, it’s understandable that there becomes a dependence on just sticking with the Microsoft option.









  • I’ve been using Pop for years, I just feel like its always worked so well for me and never given me any major gripes. Web browsing, playing a few basic games, editing documents and even recently setting up another home server with it for media streaming with Jellyfin.

    I’m a big advocate for any OS which works well out the box and is mostly hands off once configured!

    If PopOS isn’t your thing you’ll find it eventually 🙂


  • This will almost certainly be a false positive, its a heuristics(I think that’s the correct term) based detection, basically just matches certain characteristics of files that have been related to that trojan.

    These days Defender has exceptional real time malware scanning capabilities, it often picks up stuff as you download it or even as it executes. If this was a detection of an existing file, its very likely a false positive.
