Is it safe to instal any program from the store in windows 8 or 10? I mean that it will not load a virus or any thing like that?

Answer 1

probably safe, but Windows itself is a botnet for Microsoft ^_^

Answer 2

I'd say that it's safe as long as it's from a trusted source. You'll have to make the decision based on common sense and reasoning, but I'd say that it should be okay. Be sure to have your Anti-Virus on (ex. Windows Defender).

Answer 3

@Ahri Fox
Interesting perspective. I honestly don't worry about that kind of stuff, though. For example, what are the odds of NSA, est. 100,000 employees, being able to spy on 1 million+ Americans all at once? And wouldn't they get bored watching the lives of normal people at home? Just my opinion. However, I do respect your perspective, and I will say that I do admire botnets for being able to connect and use computers like a cluster computer. It's kinda awesome.

Answer 4

Gotcha. If so, I personally don't worry about it. I (as far as I know) haven't done anything to cause suspicion. Is that what Edward Snowden was trying to expose about the NSA?

Answer 5

they do do that just not in the way that you think jacob, its more automated

Answer 6

I am not massively worried either and yep pretty much

Answer 7

Interesting. Thanks.
