  1. So LG and Microsoft are trying to save face... But I don't think I'll ever trust LG again. You do something like this and backpedal after showing your hand it only leads to everyone fully expecting you to keep doing the same thing in a more stealthy way.

    Fuck you, LG

  2. New monitor, surprise software, McAfee ad. 😬

  3. LG monitors will no longer feature external ads in Windows

    The unsolicited advertising engine from LG monitors will be somewhat restricted after user protests. LG is apparently reacting to pressure from Microsoft.

  4. LG-Monitore verzichten laut Microsoft künftig auf externe Werbung in Windows

    Microsoft a laissé les écrans LG installer des pubs pour McAfee sur #Windows
    arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/0

    #LG et #Microsoft pris la main dans le sac : LG profite des mises à jour de Windows pour installer des logiciels de pub sur votre ordinateur. Des pubs apparaissent à l'écran à chaque démarrage.

    Le système a été dénoncé par des utilisateurs ulcérés par la pub #McAfee mais le stratagème dure depuis des années.

  8. Your monitor should display your PC, not install software on it without your consent.

    Connecting some LG monitors prompts Windows Update to install an LG app without even asking for it. It then launches at startup and serves McAfee trial ads.

  9. ⚠️ DO NOT BUY: LG’s Spyware TVs, Monitors, and Wiretapping Concerns

    The attached #video details the absolute #privacy horror of LG #television and #monitor products, that install #adware without consent, have #AI integration, and a horrible privacy policy..

    > LG recently forced upon us an app install loaded with #McAfee adware through a #Windows update. We found that this has been happening to tons of users, made worse by LG's shady history with #TV's that instruct buyers to inform house visitors of third-party microphones in their living room. At no point in the adware or application install did LG or Microsoft ask us for consent or permission to install the software and enable its various permissions. On monitors ranging 1 day old in our office to 3 years old, we've been able to replicate these issues -- including on the LG 34GX900A-B that we just bought (and have now returned, following #spyware concerns).

  10. In addition, #Microsoft and #McAfee are in on it. A monitor is no longer one, if it comes with #adware. I'm curious if any of this occurs if not on #Windows. Comment section on #GamerNexus video shows folks around Europe taking action and reporting this to local privacy authorities.

  11. Ok, not a Windows bug, but instead Mcafee bug. Honestly Mcafee seems like a scam. It’s gross.
    Uninstalled and won’t be touching that again.

  12. CW: NSFW, sex, drugs, drug abuse

    @hikari that's because "#ChemSex" is not just about classic #drugs, but also #ReserchChemicals like #MDPV aka. "Perv Powder"…

    I mean, #McAfee was a known afficionado of it, and it made him extremely horny.

    But yeah, it should be called #DrugSex

    Really, Samsung Galaxy?

    auch überall im Fernsehen und Netz Werbung schaltet, in der sie den Leuten vor Apps aus anderen Quellen als dem App Store Angst machen ( um den Otto Normal User derart zu gaslighten, dass die für die #Android Schließung noch dankbar sind), ständig völlig normale Apps aus anderen Quellen, die völlig fein sind, als "Malware" deklariert werden.

    Unwissende User werden die aus Angst dann deinstallieren.

    So it beginns...
