As for the accused spam:
My elderly father has a Windows 10 laptop that I prepared for him. I generally don't trust him not to download stupid things, so when Windows lost its shit over this exact listing, I read him the riot act. But I had to apologize, because it wasn't his fault. Do you want to know what the offending item was, which Windows wouldn't tell me about until I clicked through?
A Microsoft Office 2003 cracked iso. An over twenty year old installer. Could it possibly contain any reasonably modern virus, like the one listed by Windows? Of course not.
Microsoft is, at best, negligently configuring Windows in a way that creates false positives. Much more likely they're fraudulently trying to terrorize users into paying for licenses.
I'm not saying all these Chinese mini PC companies are trustworthy. But Microsoft's crooked false positives are not a possible reason why they would not be.
I'm genuinely sorry for the copy and paster's concerns here. It's scary when it looks like you have a virus, and one that you paid for.

This looks really familiar. Here's my funny story.

As for the deal, I'm fairly happy with my slightly less impressive Ryzen 7 8745 equivalent from Minisforum, which I paid also $399 for.

Personally I am not willing to roll the dice with my data security. And his evidence is compelling enough to listen to. You do you, but personally I have too much to lose to take such gambles.
I am pretty sure that the poster who posted that huge post, is a probably a duplicate account of the same person. Just do a View Profile and you'll see that he just copy paste that whole thing in every thread.
