It's just like my mother picked up the Anydesk console a few months ago. Of course, if they are going to greenlight something because of legacy or other users, who don't have their settings so high, then that would explain a lot. Personally, I don't understand how I even picked it up, when I have the settings on my browser set so tight and I'm even using the Norton security package, along with the additional Anti-tracking from the same company.

I might be wrong, but if the pop-ups in your system tray are bothering you it's possible that your Norton settings can be adjusted so that pop-ups are only displayed for suspicious/unproven files. Do I need to take action or will Microsoft Edge and Norton eventually work this out? It's just annoying to see the Norton window slide in telling me widevinecdm.dll is safe.
