> AV software is not a substitute for education. Yup, that is sort of true. However, I would not recommend to go unprotected to my friends. I reckon there are some terrible AVs, some that should not exist anymore. Yet, an AV can be taught to stop a zero day faster than an OS update. If you happen to step over a zero day, an AV software will find the file's signature faster than you restarting your computer to install the update, whether you have Windows, Linux or macOS. Windows Defender is just dumb, regarding to features and performance. My selection criteria is to not trust anything outside of Virus Bulletin's VB100 and AV TEST's certification. These are independent reviewers.
