Also, to put into context why thinking this is a /really bad idea/, allow me to state a similar argument in similar terms:
"I don't need vaccines! I have common sense, I won't get sick!"
In conjunction with an antivirus it's decent, sure, but don't trust your sense to save you.

viruses or malware stuff can come outta nowhere even when youre being careful
much better safe than sorry, keep it on low at the least

Despite what people say about avg, its still a handy little program that blocks adware. That's the only thing i get actually, i never experience any major attacks unless i know im going somewhere/downloading something sketchy. Even then if i do find myself in a situation where i have contracted a virus, avg is quick to isolate and quarantine.

i use Bitdefender tbh but i dunno if its good thats just what my dad recommends, and he works with security stuff so i'd like to think his choice is good
