- __s 7y agoBad example. Anti virus software is a scam. Just adds another attack vector when the anti virus software has a bug in their file parsing & makes it that you can be impacted by just downloading a malicious file Windows Defender is sufficient & bundled with Windows
- nullandvoid 7y agoI mean I never said anything about buying one you just assumed that. I also just use windows defender of which part of that is an anti virus..
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 7y agoYou mean, you are catching exploits for vulnerabilities that don't exist anymore, and you pay for that with a gigantic attack surface that can be used to compromise you? Yeah, that sounds about right.
