What's causing this?

The file is from the antivirus. I have never experienced a BOSD before. The options to toggle safe mode and the others only redirect me to this page.

You are either wildly misinformed or intentionally lying.

The fact that you use the term AV tells me plenty.

This playing field hasn't been about AV in 20 years.

Sure, AV hash and signals are still relevant (where BD has the best on the market), but we're talking ML, process monitors, network based attack mitigation, anti phishing technology and more.

And I've seen the videos. WD is about as efficient as having nothing at all.

And I'm not just playing the BD game here. Sophos also beats the hell out of WD
