LinusTechTips contains malware. Possible reason as to why.

[xToFxREAPER]

Yeah im guilty of making a post a few hours back.. I searched and didnt find anything so i made one anyway i had a feeling it was a false positive anyway. Unless someone hacked LTT which i find unlikely.

[Shroomster]

So you are shitposting about shitposters. They'll find the malware thread if they want to and have the ability to read.

*Posts about how people shouldn't post about the malware thing.

 

*Ends up making another post about the malware thing

 

You realize that this probably counts, right? I mean, good thing that you linked to Windspeed's post, but I think this was unnecessary. As others have said, if they haven't seen Windspeed's post, then they aren't going to bother to read yours either.

Enough is enough of this dumbass malware thing just ignore it, if you are really that worried about it scan your computer.
