ØØhhhh - hvordan pokker virker den - uforståeligt?

Finn Palludan Christensen, 2024-12-16

Als ik op bepaalde websites nog niet inlog en alleen de info wil bekijken, gaat die al de bankiers beveiliging aan zetten. Dit is erg hinderlijk als je ook gerelateerde websites open hebt staan. Ik heb dus Bitdefender Trafficlight in combinatie met de F-secure virrusscanner. Maar nog blijft F-secure zeuren dat de plugin uit staat. Ik overweeg maar een andere virusscanner te gaan nemen. Er ervaar F-secure als terreur op mijn pc.
