why does a malware cleaner need to restart your windows 10 pc just to install an update to itself, come the fuck on now

tech 

@Nine if i had to guess it's because it has kernel-level stuffs to get a really good look at the malware
even if it might not be used in the free version

re: tech 

@sobsz that is... logical, and probably right, maybe, or at least highly likely to be right.... but also pretty awful for the free version to want that level of access but not use it, like... wtf, do they want there to be a security vulnerability
