Now I am wondering if this will really work for the good. Haven't you heard of the issue on free (or minimal fee) anti-virus scanners? Other experts have said that these are the ones causing virus on our laptops and desktops which is a stealth move to get private information. So just because they are termed as anti-virus scanners does not mean their business is really to prevent virus; sometimes, it goes the other way around. Mind you, there are many others who fake the interest in protecting Bitcoin, especially so when they are unable to join Bitcoin's bandwagon during its peak in 2017. I am surmising big whales are behind this again to try to manipulate the market. They may be big corporations, conglomerates or governments that would like to exact private information for purposes of reverting back control to the government.
