this is what not visiting websites with fake download buttons and not using installers with ads(i. e. being born after 2010) does to the person.

the funny thing is how advertising firms will happily display their ads in literal malware, but they claim it'll damage their image to put an ad on a website with conservatives

Im 31, Ive been through enough a million websites with fake download buttons, I just assumed they were some necessary drivers, didn't fit in my mind a company this big would install literal malware with their stuff

I'm not gonna make a new thread, but I might as well post here. I bought a Steelseries Rival 300 a few years ago and not that long ago my MOUSE4&5 started double-clicking, when I was using them to go back or forward a page in the browser it would go two pages. I was sure this was due to some faulty drivers because of a coincidence. I should've known it wasn't because uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers did nothing, but I'm a retard. Anyway, a few minutes ago I found the answer on R*ddit and it seems to have worked:

>Hi! Sorry if I'm a little late. I have the same mouse, and the same issue. I did some searching, and somehow found this solution saying:

>Disconnect any mouse cable from PC.

>Now, do this: mass clicking all of the buttons on it like crazy! When I said crazy, I mean it! Just clicks as fast as you can for about minimum of 2 minutes.

>Connect back your mouse into PC.

>It did help after first try in my case
