im telling you, anti virus software is a scam to anyone who is computer savvy. its in the same league as VPNs, but at least VPNs dont slow down your whole PC unlike antivirus which embeds itself deep in the shag of the kernel and intensely scans every thing you do, and has mandatory auto-updates so the AV company can run whatever code they want on your machine until it inevitably breaks something and you have 6 minute boot up times
