It's not inherently bad, at least from the user's perspective, but Windows Defender will make you click "more info" or something before giving you the "run anyways" button since it thinks it's a risk. I've never gotten a virus doing this, though

On MacOs it's so stupid. Instead of double-clicking on the new program to open it, you need to right-click and hit "Open" from the drop down menu. Only then does it even give you the option to open the program anyway.

Wait, right-click? I thought Apple mice had only one button.

I think it's command + click if the second button isn't enabled. It's one "button", but clicks on left and right sides.

Because viruses fake a licence so they don't get detected that easily. Which means the extremely expensive license you have to buy from Microsoft is useless for actual security.
