### FAQ
> How can I improve my privacy online?
We'd recommend checking out privacy guides like [SSD](https://ssd.eff.org/) and [The New Oil](https://thenewoil.org/).
> I don't know what seeding or *insert another term* means...
You will find almost all terms related to piracy and more in [The Piracy Glossary](https://rentry.org/the-piracy-glossary). Didn't find what you're looking for or still confused? Reach out to us via [Discord](https://discord.gg/5W9QJKuPkD).

> Should I install and use *insert random antivirus software* instead of using Windows Defender?
No, don't do that. Windows Defender is more than enough to keep you safe, but if you're still set on installing a secondary AV, the only one worth installing is Malwarebytes. Please read the note [here](#antivirus).
!!!warning Stay away from Avast, Norton, and McAfee, as these are "bloatware" and generally unsafe software.

> How can I download an image from *insert stock image site*?
You can use [this downloader](https://downloader.la/), and if it doesn't work you can find other stock image downloaders [here](https://fmhy.net/img-tools#stock-photos).
> How do I decode base64?
You can use [Base64 Decoders](https://fmhy.net/text-tools#encode-decode) or our [Auto Decode](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/485772) script if you're on the fmhy base64 page.
