That chart doesn't say anything about system resource usage.
Edit: found the performance chart now. Still no explanation on what performance tests(more than two sentences) they performed and how the scoring was applied.
Yeah, that was you continuing to show how inexperienced you are.
For a remote exploit to work the computer or device has to expose ports to the network your computer is connected to.
"Remote" means that the vulnerability does not require local access.
So if your friend connects his infected device to your wifi, all devices connected to the same network essentially are at risk, depending on what's listening on the devices and what vulnerabilities they have.
Your idea about avoiding bad websites is ridiculous. History is full of examples where third party ads had been created to infect one way or another. That's ads that users on legitimate site were exposed to.
That's just one little example. There have been numerous examples of malicious sleeping JavaScript code that suddenly wakes up and contacts it's command-and-control server and then download malicious JavaScript code to unknowing site visitors.
Furthermore, you didn't understand my question. Of course antivirus is able to stop malware it recognizes that enters through a remote exploit.
The user with antivirus would at least have a chance of knowing that something was up each time and attempt to infect was made.
You on the other hand would sit there clueless with your little zombie computer and laugh at all them script kiddies.
But hey...
You just continue trying to infect others around you with bad security advice and have a good day. I'm outta here.
You consider food that has been properly refrigerated for 3 days a health risk?
If all ingredients have been properly heated in the cooking process and cooled down quickly (letting it cool down in room temperature is not "quickly" it should be good for a much longer time. Put the food in an airtight container. If it's cold outside, like below 4°C, you can put it outside to cool. Otherwise, put the container in cold water. Make sure to change the water if it gets luke warm. When the food is luke warm/room tempered you move the container to the fridge (cooling capacity of your fridge determines how warm food you can cook down in the fridge. The cooler food, the better).
If kept below 8°C (I prefer a temperature of 1°C to 4°C in my fridge) it should be good for at least a week. Up to 2-3-4 weeks depending on how poor, courageous and/or stupid you are.
Always:
Use your nose and if it smells a bit unusual, not just "off", you should consider throwing it away.
The smell receptors you have have by evolution been calibrated towards smelling "spoiled". Especially spoiled meats, most likely since the micro organisms and the toxins they produce are among the most dangerous to us compared to what's in spoiled vegetables. If a piece of meat is really off, you most likely won't even be able to breath normally within 4-5 inches of it.
Look for color change, tiny tiny dots of something that doesn't seem to belong in the food. (It doesn't have to be "hairy". Bacterias doesn't create "hairy dots"). If it does have dots or after coloring, then throw it away. If you see "hairy" it's most likely mold. Not mold actually, but the fruiting body of mold, which is just the tip of the iceberg. What you don't see if the actual mold which continues det down in the food. So never just cut away the bad parts and eat what looks ok. It's everywhere, even in parts that looks good.
But if you wouldn't be able to eat one week old properly refrigerated food, all of our ancestors 100 years ago would have died of food poisoning. I mean "all" as all of them and not just the large amount of people that actually died from botulism, salmonella and all the other food related fun ways to die.
Either you're just ignorant or your working in the Russian malware industry.
Remote exploits doesn't have anything to do with you running any infected executables. It's about vulnerabilities in executables that you are running.
Read up on the zx vulnerability or the log4j vulnerability.
One really really old attack vector is a buffer overflow attack.
For example, if you're running a clean VLC to watch a movie and your VLC is older than version 3.0.12 you're at risk.
The video file, that you "purchased" on PirateBay, could have been manipulated to crash VLC and force VLC run a specific payload in the video file.
If that payload is ransomware it's game over for you.
Yeah, just like wearing a seatbelt doesn't guarantee that you don't get injured, antivirus doesn't guarantee that your computer won't get infected.
But there's no doubt about the usefulness of both seatbelt and antivirus.
If your computer is network connected you really really need antimalware running.
In theory, a game server could be exploited and controlled to inject malware into game clients ( = you playing online).
If you use a browser to access internet, there has been malware infected ads that object your computer when you visit legitimate web sites.
If you get infected, the majesty most likely won't do anything that makes you noticed it. It all depends what the purpose of the malware is.
Ransomware? Then it starts hidden until it has encrypted all your files and then it pops up telling you to pay our you won't be able to use your computer.
Connect your passwords? Getting full access to your steam is nice. For some lot in the MMORPG you okay? That's something they theoretically would script to be able to steal from you.
Or maybe the malware just stays hidden for now, contacting it's control center now and then to see if there is any instructions.
Malware is business. The people behind it are businessmen and you are part of what they sell.
If you have a fairly modern computer there shouldn't be that much impact on the performance.
Pfffft.... Yet another sign of the Russian economy booming!
