>yeah with the small difference that the virus scanner reports to you

Important to note that in case of the Win 10 Defender and its default settings, executables, and hashes of other files are uploaded to Microsoft automatically.

Much less worse than a csam false positive reporting someone to the authorities, but not really "reporting to you" either.




If Microsoft were explicit that they were trying to look at your personal files and were then going to send the police to your house based on what the hashes were, that would be a big issue to.


I hope so!
