guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 3:59 PM

yes, it is technically possible, there is a possibility of it occuring

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 3:59 PM

because being on your network removes a bunch of layers of defense

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 4:00 PM

but windows 10/11 have pretty good default settings in 2025, they're resistant to most types of attacks out of the box

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 4:00 PM

so as long as you didn't disable windows defender firewall, you're fine

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 4:00 PM

what did you even download? what made you think you had a virus?

Gguninvalid? more like stupidvali yes, it is technically possible, there is a possibility of it occuring

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:33 PM

can you tell me whats the possible ways he can hack my computer ?

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:33 PM

after the factory reset i instantly turned off rdp but its actually turned off by default and file sharing is off by default too

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:34 PM

but does he need to have my device password to like enter my computer or no ?

AAli can you tell me whats the possible ways he can hack my computer ?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:34 PM

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:35 PM

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:35 PM

there's always a risk your system is hacked

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:35 PM

AAli can you tell me whats the possible ways he can hack my computer ?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:35 PM

i don't know, but Microsoft does

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:36 PM

that's why Microsoft sets the defaults to exclude RDP and file sharing

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:36 PM

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:37 PM

yeah i know but im just scared the infected computer can compromise my pc

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:37 PM

but the people i heard from they say its impossible and they have seen on it like 2016 or 2015

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:37 PM

not now

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:37 PM

yea it's still impossible

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:37 PM

it really hasn't been a thing since 2010 or 2015

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:38 PM

every modern operating system, especially windows, has a firewall and malware protection by default

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:39 PM

but i feel like if it does still bother you, i am unironically suggesting you switch to MacOS

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:39 PM

mac does still get viruses but Apple is very good at preventing them

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:39 PM

idk but i just take people advice and go straight

AliOP•10/19/25, 5:40 PM

by the way just received this when talking lol

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:40 PM

yes this happens every single day

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:40 PM

the last statistic i saw there's a cyber attack every 39 seconds

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:41 PM

but also, about 60% of attacks are conducted through phishing

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/19/25, 5:41 PM
