Holy crap. If this is real, this is gotta be the most dystopian thing I've seen so far. Time to switch OS and never look back.

Microsoft has a black list of file names including many KVM activators. I think “XVID” is what triggered this one

Lol imagine blacklisting file names

Way more likely "rip" or "HDrip" instead of XviD, which is (or used to be) a super common video codec. Like X264 today.
