      Where does it say in the article?

      Even if it’s true, wouldn’t it be a good thing, since it probably wouldn’t be found otherwise?

        Short answer, nothing. Long answer, Mcafee, Norton, Kaspersky, etc. all have divisions devoted to creating viruses to keep the rest of the company profitable. Microslop has been increasingly desperate recently as they hemorrhage users. They have always been a deeply dishonest company dating back to the 90’s and IP theft over GUI. I suspect they might be behind the recent push to scare the public of “the dangers” of open source and think of the kids I.D. checks.

          To everyone who isn’t wrapping themselves in aluminum, these companies don’t have teams writing viruses. This has been regurgitated around since the 90s and it’s hilariously false.
