Might be unrelated but some time ago I had to turn on my adblock on this site since some flash ad was causing issues to my system. My PC was lagging real hard when the GBAtemp homepage was open. I think I had a chrome warning about the site too, but it was a long time ago.

I mean as in people who would intend to browse here, not just ordinary people.
Most of us either have nothing or something like Avast, right?
No. I have Kaspersky.. But I also get it really cheap. ($17 on sale a month ago) For browsing here, nothing is fine, but if you go anywhere else, even places like facebook, I have seen malware sneak in through bad ads that slipped through the pruning process.

all paid versions except norton are allright for as far as i know them. clam used to be good but no updates for a long time, all other free ones gave me spam like software that altered results whenshopping online, gave me crap info about why i should also buy this or that since it would increase performance... but hey, if you've found the exception (don't bother to tell me i'm done with the free shit software)

Malwarebytes + Windows Defender here. No reason to use anything else.

it restores the results when fully removed (not just use the uninstaller but all files it installed to begin with... it's malwarebytes that does it.
i clean my computer good, and keep track of all instructions daily... i know when it's caused by just one program...

Then youre not downloading from the official source. Probably got it from CNET. I've been using it for years, so I KNOW you're wrong.

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
