Finnman reacted to Oshino Shinobu in Security Software
There are though, it's just much less common, primarily due to the fact that most things you can install on your phone will come from somewhat pre-checked sources and ones that do slip through will probably get taken down pretty quick.
The viruses and malware come when people try to install "free" versions of paid apps from other sources. It's mostly seen on Android as you can install apps from unknown sources, while iOS devices are basically limited to Apple's App Store only.

Do not buy McAfee
That company went the way of being a virus itself.
Basically as long as you are smart on the internet all you need is Windows Defender and an ad blocker.
Anti-virus on smartphones does literally nothing

>Windows Defender - Active protection and system scans
>Malwarebytes - System scans
>Some common sense - Don't run an .exe when you thought you were downloading an .mp3
Most anti-virus programs actually use the same or similar sets of repositories for identifying threats, so quite a bit of choosing one is just down to the amount of bloat and how the application behaves as most will pick up the same things during a scan.

Finnman got a reaction from Akin in Smart Fan Controllers
Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I
It expands a fan header on your motherboard to 8 fans.
You'd still need some software to detect the temperatures and increase fan speed from there though.

You could look into phone stands. Shouldn't cost much and they are rather useful if you work at a desk.

Finnman got a reaction from RezidentSeagull in Using a Fractal Design S36 CPU Block in custom loop?
I would be concerned about the CPU block not having G1/4 threads. As for using the pump in the block it may reduce your overall flow rate, to what degree I don't know
