Reaction on X: Most replies treat the incident as a striking example of Claude's usefulness, with one saying Claude could be a better AV than traditional AV software and another expecting persistent agents to constantly scan and fix things. One reply calls the framing a bit misleading, saying Claude simply checked the processes list and identified the resource-heavy process, which is basic troubleshooting.
