to upload what it classifies as viruses for analysis which is what most
AVs do but I didn't like the phrasing. There is a point where CYA
boilerplate is counterproductive.

No thanks. I tried Kaspersky before. It was invasive just like the other
anti-virus applications. Pretty much a virus in its own right when trying to
get rid of it.

I just use Clam when I want to make sure I'm not passing a Windows virus on
to another Windows machine.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
