This is a browser security and PEBKAC error, nothing to do with Windows 7. You’ve simply proven my point that all these attacks are installed and run by the user. If they’re tricked by the site, that’s not on Windows 7.

Your AI generated summary, again, lacks evidence. I asked for a site, or a source where what you claim credibly happened, not just repeating the same myths in a circular series of arguments.

" via User Execution. By clicking “allow” on browser push notifications"

Which is what I said: “the only way to get this malware is to actively download it and install it, yes?”

So you agreed with me on all points, why write so much, though? A simple “yes” would suffice next time. Or “HugeNerd, as usual, is correct and his Windows 7 machine has been running 24/7 for months uncompromised through the miracle of using a hosts file, managing his router, and using his tiny old brain.”
