Hi

I've been on a bit of a journey, computer-wise, over the past week.

When I visit www.icloud.com I now see this detail on-screen ...
https://jmp.sh/vlXWhTC

I see an /identical/ image at that URL, regardless of whether I'm using
Windows XP, Linux Mint or macOS Monterey Version 15.5.1

Did YOU know that one could see what's on an Apple iMac's screen when
using a Microsoft Windows computer? I most certainly didn't until a week
ago! Yes - it IS outrageous that I didn't know, having been using an
Apple iMac since 2009. <rolls eyes>

More importantly, I had absolutely no idea that the *iCloud DRIVE*
facility effectively works just like a plug-in USB external hard drive -
but it is NEVER scanned by Apple or by any third-party anti-malware
software.

I found files in my iCloud drive harking way back to 2005, long before I
even had a Mac! What a great place for malware to hide in plain sight!

May I suggest that YOU check what's installed on YOUR iCloud DRIVE?

There is now a comprehensive page of information about the iCloud which
may be found here: https://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/ (Do scroll!)

With kind regards,
David B.

Wait, were you expecting the contents of your cloud storage to be
different, based on which OS you were running when you accessed it? Does
that make any sense to you?

>Did YOU know that one could see what's on an Apple iMac's screen when

That's blatantly false. What you're seeing when you access your cloud
storage is your cloud storage itself, not your iMac. I can't believe you
may have thought otherwise. Amazing.

Where do you come up with your stupid conclusions?

You had no idea that your cloud storage had similarities to any other
kind of storage? Seriously?

Files get scanned when you retrieve them. There's little or no reason to
scan them 'out there'.

Why have you been storing malware out there? What were your plans for
it?

>May I suggest that YOU check what's installed on YOUR iCloud DRIVE?

I'm not sure you'll be able to find people who are as clueless as you,
but good luck.

Why does that surprise you?

???. That is a normal web page which has nothing to do what hardware
*you* use.

Nonsense.

*You* placed it there. Malware as inactive data is absolutely harmless.

> May I suggest that YOU check what's installed on YOUR iCloud DRIVE?

No. I have very strict policies in place what is done and what not.

Everything you present here is conspiracy theory.

X-postings eliminated.

David runs Windows 10 on a Toshiba laptop.

He also much values the opinions on many folk on the Windows-10 Usenet
group.
