That wouldn't help, if there are no motherboard drivers for it to work with the hardware.
Windows 10 sure seems all it's cracked up to be, amirite?
You don't seem to understand how sophisticated malware works. Those that know what they're doing can bypass any AV detection. Even if it's not apparent, you're probably already part of a botnet. People like you are even more wide open because people like you think they know what they're doing when they don't. You're an idiot. It's the cold, hard truth. Even if you think you're being safe by preventing big, bad telemetrics from Microsoft by preventing updates, you're just opening yourself to any 14 year old with a Beta Bot setup. I honestly can't pity you, either. You are willingly allowing anyone into your computer because you ignorantly believe that Microsoft is out to get you more than actual malicious entities. Like I said, welcome to the ZeuS net. You are part of the conglomerate due to sheer stupidity.
Stop using a 12 year old PC. It's pretty easy.That wouldn't help, if there are no motherboard drivers for it to work with the hardware.
Well shit, I guess I'm dumb then. Running day one Server 2012 OS install for nearly 5 or 6 years without a breach or problem.
I'm in a same boat as you it seems.
I know this quote isn't for me, but it does pertain to me, the beauty of my setup is that everything is lost the moment the computer reboots or powered down, so no virus or malware is going to survive. The entire fully functional version OS is being ran from RAM drive.
No, it isn't that easy. Especially when i didn't have the money to even try to build or buy anything newer for a literal decade.
Can't really blame nvidia, when AMD bought ati on that side of things, and intel either refused to renew platform access permissions or flat out sued any and every maker of chipsets for their CPU's not that long after my board was made.Okay that just freaking blows, to which I want to say to the manufacturer: what's wrong nVidia, afraid to make proper drivers?
They might, but I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with Windows 11 or something else as one of their free and automatic updates.

It only takes one time to get anything useful from you. Even if you have a Deep Freeze host (or something similar) a keylogger or something like the Pony stealer would mine enough off of you. My point was about how @jefffisher might think he's being safe, when in reality that kind of mindset makes one totally open to someone that knows what they're doing. Just because your AV doesn't go off doesn't mean you're not infected. Runtime and scantime detections are easily bypassed since AVs heavily rely on heuristics. This is why I strongly advise against using services like VirusTotal because they're incredibly unreliable. And yes, you could use Resource Monitor, or any verbose firewall (I really like NOD32's) to check outgoing connections. If you want to do analysis locally, PE Explorer and Sandboxie are also helpful. If you ever suspect that you might be infected check for processes running from AppData. Malware tends to drop here because it can execute without triggering the UAC prompt.
Who pissed in your cereal this morning?
Now that's a tad pretentious.Gee, we're so very sorry people like us don't have the money and resources to get a new and high-end PC every year like you. Give him a break.
One more reason why I haven't used AMD products in well over a decade, to be perfectly blunt.
That's true. None of his business what hardware someone is using.
Not really a knock against AMD. Back in that day, I was very much an AMD (CPU) fanboy... the reason I went with the 680i was because CPU-wise, intel's Core 2 was indeed better, but intel's own chipsets were so same-y and limited, and for lack of better wording, boring. nForce chipsets were undisputably king for AMD CPU's because they were indeed faster and all the OC records at the time were done on them (DFI boards most frequently). But then, as if hearing the cries of those having to contemplate a platform switch, NVIDIA just came out of nowhere and brought us a chipset for those Core 2 CPU's that just blew the doors off what intel itself was offering at the time.Gee, we're so very sorry people like us don't have the money and resources to get a new and high-end PC every year like you.

It wasn't until the first-gen i7 that intel even bothered to offer SLI support for their chipsets; and fewer boards made that actually had the lanes and slots to support it. So it was annoying, but not surprising, when intel just started suing or refusing to renew licences for the likes of SiS, ULi, et al to make supporting chipsets for intel CPU's. All I could surmise on the AMD side, is that when AMD (the CPU company) bought ATI (the GPU guys), several people saw the writing on the wall, feared the same behavior, and NVIDIA (among others) just didn't bother.
That still sucks.
nothing goes through my network from my computer that isn't standard http through firefox, i don't have skype, steam or anything else that requires internet access i would notice even the smallest amount of traffic that didn't happen right when right when i'm loading a webpage the absolute only attack i'm vulnerable to is someone taking over my computer through a webpage i visit which as far as i know hasn't happened to anyone in a few years and even then mozilla will patch it before microsoft does. if that did happen i would notice long before the average user unless they somehow hacked my router too but that is up to date and isn't windows. my phone is probably at much more of a risk but hey if you want to look at my collection in pokemon go and a bunch of pictures of my dick just ask.
I would think you're the one that's way more paranoid is you, given that you think updates are evil and don't fix exploits when they actually do. you're just trying to justify having a bad position, that is all ("we get malware anyway, so i'll just leave myself exposed to all the malware instead of updating to block most of it!")
Classy. It's not a secret that you're wrong. You're spouting off nonsense that's objectively wrong and trying to shove it off as fact. You're running an outdated system (literally) and think anyone and everyone else is wrong or paranoid for updating. It's nothing short of an ego trip. You want to talk about arguing? You're like my 4 year old. Arguing without the slightest idea. Then you turn to insults. Cute.
When did I say I get one every year? When did I say he needs a high-end PC?Gee, we're so very sorry people like us don't have the money and resources to get a new and high-end PC every year like you. Give him a break.
