Maybe, but only if windows users continue to not learn how to use their PCs

Just because you know what the buttons do doesn't mean you know how to use it.

Only if the closed source black box has your information in the first place

I keep clicking the link that says "free crypto in your account claim now" and its not doing anything except making my screen go black randomly. I need one of my grandchildren to help me when they visit in a month

Users aren’t responsible for the plethora of security issues Microsoft regularly releases.
