I was mostly interested in it for relatives/friends computers but after looking at it and hearing some feedback, formatting and reinstalling is totally the way to go. Quicker and more effective. After arguing back and forth with OSI bean Dip I've just continued with my advice of installing ublock and telling people to watch what they click on, that and MSE running unobtrusively in the background. If someone really bugs me because they think free=bad I'll just tell them MalwareBytes or Kapersky.

make them give you $20 and then pretend to install MSE

I've yet to see a boot sector virus or anything like it on systems with secure boot enabled.

Why do so many people in this thread seem to think that "I haven't seen one" is the same as "they don't exist"

I'm new to SHSC, is it normal in here to emptyquote and do single emote posts, as well as call people names?
