>Very few articles mentioned they were uninstalling Tor from the computers the last time around. Most were just churning Microsoft's press release and the hero narrative.
Microsoft's security software did that, that too only stopped it from automatically starting if it was installed by a known virus. So if you install and run a virus scanner, why wouldn't you expect it to block such attacks?
If you didn't want it to do that, I am sure there are ways to opt out from using Microsoft's security tools. Were there any reports of legitimate Tor users getting affected by the action?
