As an example, I downloaded driver booster, I deleted it but Im wondering if they will put a malware in my computer since I deleted it (because they will show their delete popup and yea) probably a dumb question

    i think people tend to forget that “malware” isnt a virus because its often done in a legal way. yes, shitty software that you agree to, can do horrible things to your machine when you allow it.

    the uninstaller should remove it. but “ooops” happens, ie bullshit code that causes things to stick.

    99% of the time freeware malware bytes install will clear it for you. if you still get weird behavior after you run malware byes, then a reset might be worth it.
