- Semaphor 8y ago> Surely not avoiding AV completely. Exactly that.
- voltagex_ 8y agoOk, what about for the 99% of the population that that won't work for?
- Semaphor 8y agoWell, I'm recommending it on HN, not on Facebook ;)
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoUse ChromeOS, Android, or iOS. Seriously, AV is pointless software. It will false-positive often, it will false-negative slightly less often, and it will introduce a performance degradation 100% of the time regardless. It is a bad solution to the problem of malware.
