You can support it and justify it and endorse it as much as you like.  You can
even call its dangers' a hoax.

But I'm glad I found out about it, and I'm glad I got a tool to eradicate it
from my computer.

You know what I want in my computer?  Stuff I intentionally put there myself.

Find a fault in that.

Thank you
