if you're a power user you don't have these problems and can go without an antivirus




None, been virus free for years.
Even if I do get one, I know how to remove it.

But hey OP, if you wanna insult me because you cannot manage to stop downloading bad stuff then feel free. lol

dude viruses can be in 100% legit sites too
like when your watching horse bestiality research and then it says "this site had a virus" and your like "woah that was close but i can still trust this horse bestiality site"

Antivirus systems are typically awful in my experience.

When somebody recommend me Avast, it was great. I have silent / gaming mode on all the time. Its the only antivirus that hasn't wrecked my computers performance and gotten in the way of every single little operation.

I avoided anti-virus products for years as well. Never harmed me, but once every couple years I might stumble on a bad file by accident so its good to have backup.

I have this image of an ancient man sat in a room with a computer whos dedicated his life to keeping
our computers safe, thats why AVG is updated so often :c
Poor man
