great job

[Ipquarx]

and why would you do that
is there any actual proof of this? There's no documentation of this, only the word of one ex-employee who may or may not be lying

They are basically Norton 2.0 now, minus the 99% disk usage.

For cleaning leftover stuff I use CCleaner.

pretty sure kaspersky is widely regarded as one of the world's best antivirus tools. most reviews i see claim it and malwarebytes as the most powerful antivirus programs.

Well I may have eaten my own words here, but I guess your right, still AV software tends to impair performance and a decent one cost you a fortune.
