Why do these links NOT WORK at ALL? Any of the links that send me to a send.cm download link just.. don't DO anything..
I just tested it and it works for me. What does "don't DO anything mean"?
Do you think your browser or antivirus might be blocking the site?This has been happening for a while now with AV's increasingly blocking download or 'less desirable' sites. My AVG goes ballistic over any Bunkr links even if it's only for an image. I have to shut it down when I grab anything from that Desirefx shithole. It wouldn't surprise me if other browsers where pulling the same trick under pressure from media companies. Firefox is fine so far.
Maybe we need a note in the FAQ that the kids don't read.Ethiopia - I've had AVG for years but uninstalled it a about a month back. I got sick of its constant nags and interference when browsing and memory usage. So I'm basically relying on Defender & Brave and Malwarebytes for scans, and common sense.
AVG also tracks and stores users online data so it's a privacy and security risk in itself.I wasn't aware that AVG was so invasive. I have Brave but rarely use it, I'm using FireFox mostly. I used PaleMoon for ages and LOVED it but it failed to keep up and can't even load Ebay properly anymore. The programmer (there appears top be only one) won't listen to suggestions. I get the feeling that it's gone down the Poser road, IE: it's become a religion NOT a piece of software.
Like most software that's free there isn't much incentive to keep updating it or adding new features if you're a one-man operation.
I haven't had a real virus detected by AVG in years, and the last time it did, around 2013, it only informed me after the virus had infected my OS >>> reformat.
These days bad actors use emails links and phishing, and Defender can deal with infected files just as adequately as any 3rd party virus detection tool can.
