In my experience, most anti-virus software is very poorly written. They don’t practice safe coding methods themselves. Moreover, even if it was well-written, because of the nature of what you’re asking the software to do, it will have full and complete access to everything on your system, and usually with significant privileges. So, that would make it a very juicy target for malware writers, if nothing else. For non-savvy computer users, Bitdefender is the only anti-virus software I would trust, but for more savvy computer users, even Bitdefender might be more of a risk than it is worth. So, are you computer savvy enough that you know the risks presented by even the best anti-virus software, and would be better off without it? If you are, then maybe you’re not part of the target audience for this page.
