I have a driver usb key in front of me that was shipped from the vendor by mail.
Based on your arrogance, attitude, and confident wrongness I also assume you're a early-to-mid-20s male in which case I have files as old as you on my computer. I definitely have some music I ripped from CDs, I definitely have movies I ripped myself, and I definitely have video games I ripped myself.
It's ok to be wrong, little guy.
Stop cherry-picking. If 95% of your HDD's files are downloaded from the Internet, including all of your OS and security patch files, marking all of them as "insecure" isn't a valid security method. It invites a ton of false positives, and is practically useless.
Also, stop assuming my age, my height, and who I am. I know what it used to be like pre-Internet, but it's not like that any more.
Emphasis mine
I only assumed your age and sex, none of those other things.
