Or maybe just dont click in the ultra flashy "Totally click here to download/play" buttons right below the " X medicine will grow your dick 10fold! Scientist totally hate this revolutionary pills" or links like " https://legionfront.me/pages/news " and shit like that

Yeah, I definitely have that power as well. I'm always perplexed how people fall for them but then I remember I have years of training.

@FuzzyMyztiq Years of training and a few regretful clicks too. But even after all these years, I wonder how they're not getting better at faking!

@null-pointer There is no incentive to get better. They want to scam stupid people, so they target it to stupid people.

Cybork10497yYou learn from your mistakes. Last virus I got was a shitstorm that turned everything to chinese characters, then had a script that would re-install everything (about 3 or 4 different programs) on boot. Got rid of it..
Next morning, my dad's complaining about chinese chars in his pc... The struggle is real.. -
