Nope. Never had that happen. If you watch where you browse, don't open things in email, etc, it is actually not that easy to get a virus.
Though I do browse FT, and without an ad-blocker it is pretty much like having malware running. Let me get this right. You had 10 documents open in Notepad that you didn't save, and you are saying that Windows is a virus because it rebooted your machine and lost your 10 documents? As I said up thread, I've no real sympathy. |

FWIW I use Win10 daily and it has never once rebooted without asking first.
It also doesn't seem to want to reboot a lot. Perhaps once or twice a month. |

Do you mean 'airplanes' are not connected to the Internet? I heard most airlines have wifi, guess you have not flown those. 'Bad guys' are not trying to attack them? In what world do you live in? I would agree many hackers do not care about planes enough to attack them, and some 'bad guys' do not have the know-how to do it. |

This is also not the same as juice jacking which is a weakness of the design of how all these systems detect how quickly a system can charge... Hence why you use the AC adapter (better way to charge) or via power bank (not so great, but better than charging via the built in USB plug....which is also very limited... |

I actually don't know why I'm bothering, as you appear to be just trolling (at least I hope you are). |
