minus-squareRunJun@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 months agoVery interesting. Since I left windows, this isn’t an issue for me but I will be more aware that this can happen now.
minus-squareFlexibleToast@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 months agoKind of makes me want to install Clam AV just to watch for viruses I wouldn’t otherwise know about because I’m using Linux everywhere.
minus-squarefrongt@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoI did that for a while. It didn’t find any. I think because there weren’t any to find.
minus-squareDecq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoThere isn’t really anything new to learn here. It’s still the same old, don’t run an executable to watch a movie. That the code is partly hidden in the srt/jpg is just a minor implementation detail.
