First of all, I did not suggest (re-read my comment, I am complaining about the
fact that I have to go out of my way to fix it instead of it being resolved by
developers). I specifically said "I" downloaded. I do understand that there are
websites linked to viruses, but you also have to remember that there are
internet boffins who know which websites to go to, which programs to use and
what to look out for when it comes to malware; we have more experience on the
internet and software than normal people since we are glued to the screen 24/7.
Secondly, regarding your comment about installing the windows update; you may
remember a while back, the specific KB update had a bug just before they ended
windows 7 support which installed the edge browser every time you restart the
machine regardless if you uninstalled it.
I do not have funds for a new machine, so I am stuck with a machine that can
only run windows 7.
If need be, I will download an older version of Krita and use that until I can
fully upgrade my entire setup.
