    Try googling hardware-id XX for linux. You can bet there’s a page “XX driver for linux” in the first results, with a download button to malware. Title doesn’t make sense, but the search algorithmen can’t know that.

      I hate that crap. It’s one reason I’m glad sourceforge is dead.

      I also don’t understand the sides which just mirror stackoverflow and get ranked above it.

        I’m surprised stackoverflow haven’t sued some of them… they literally steal the content and stick their own name on it.
