Don't be alarmed by the Winring0 "virus" on your PC

A couple of days ago, we reported that a Windows update had resulted in printers printing gibberish for no apparent reason. These types of bugs are not entirely uncommon on Windows, which makes sense given that it's a monolithic piece of software with years-old code running on over a billion devices. Recently, multiple users also claimed that the operating system is falsely flagging some harmless hardware monitoring applications as malware. While the initial understanding was that this issue was being triggered by a Windows bug, it appears that this is not the case after all.
