Anti virus software. To protect your computer let's constantly run this software with root privileges!
I remember mcAffee webadvisor came preinstalled with a crappy asus vivobook i got when i was younger, i could not delete it, i had to manually remove the files from the programfiles folder but it reinstalled itself every time it updated, the laptop bricked itself recently anyway so it doesn't matter.
That's when you wipe the os and install linux
I run linux on my main pc, but some other people used the laptop.
Good endpoint protection doesn't run with any root privileges.
