Thanks, that's some good readin'
Common Sense 2016 would not have prevented a malicious Transmission update though
Agreed - it would not defend against this presumed watering-hole attack. However, neither would have AV: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d1ac55a4e610380f0ab239fcc...

Nevertheless, I still believe Common Sense to be a better alternative to bloated, vulnerable anti-virus programs.
