   @afewbugs Wow, that sounds so sketchy. Not objecting to you replicating it. It's just unbelievable that Kaspersky did something so invasive and wrong and worse-than-useless.

     More fun with switching my parents over from Windows to Mint: they used to have Kaspersky as an antivirus, and apparently it showed a little green tick next to links if they were safe to click? Does any sort of add on for Firefox exist that will do this without paying for a subscription? Yes I have explained to them about the padlock symbol and https, but unfortunately I've drilled into them so well about the dangers of clicking links in dodgy email they're now scared to click anything
