    My experience is that ASC is doing the right thing by kicking you out daily.

    An education for some reading here!

    For you, obviously. For intelligent people, this is a joke.

    Please explain why.

    It does not apply to software, such as keystroke
    loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has
    hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it
    remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy
    way to defend against it.

    Who wrote this drivel? There is no easy way to prevent physical
    access to
    your computer? There is no easy way to prevent remote logins?

    This fellow:- https://discussions.apple.com/profile/Linc+Davis/participation

    Whoever wrote this has no fucking clue what he is talking about.

    He was a well-respected adviser on the ASC forums.

    It was part of my learning curve, back in 2014! ;-)

    Which explains why you are so god damn stupid today.

    What advice do YOU give when asked if people should install anti-malware software on their Apple devices?
