I stopped using AV software over a decade ago, haven't really encounter a malware so far.
- moreira 5y agoSaying you haven't encountered malware seems like a weak argument; a tech-savvy person (which you are, since you're here) will know not to download dodgy stuff and not to click dodgy links on emails or porn websites. A less technically-inclined person won't know, and will definitely end up exposed to malware. That's just reality for Windows users. The key argument is that Windows's built-in antivirus is quite solid now. I don't know if (and I don't think that) a modern antivirus provides any -significant- additional protection over what comes with Windows by default.
