Who would use these horrible bottlenecking POS programs for anti virus.

It turns out they have Norton too (the only anti-virus I trust completely).

Norton - the iTunes AV software of WIN 10 - so bloated it chokes anything it is run on.

Bitdefender is actually pretty good, but they also have a free version that isn't as comprehensive, but in comparison to most of those listed with the exception of maybe kaspersky (which some are still skeptical about in terms of data security)  it runs relatively lightly on most systems.

This looks shady AF.

The last antivirus i used constantly was AVG back in the Windows XP days. Pretty sure these bloatware are not needed anymore. I guess if you need a cheap Windows OEM key then there's that.

I did use Malwarebytes a few months ago to remove a malware and it worked well so if anything i'd install that one again.

Anyone selling Windows 10 licenses for free or next to nothing is using a volume licensing loophole. If Microsoft discovers a misused volume license, they will blacklist the key.

I switched over to Linux years ago and im very happy about it.

You don't need an antivirus to stay safe, just install Nano Adblocker (the enhanced version of uBlock Origin) as well as the companion Nano Defender or any popular browser, disable Windows Defender, stop updates and uninstall any third party antivirus. As long as you aren't stupid to click and download anything, you won't see a virus for the rest of your life.

Stopping updates and not being stupid are mutually exclusive.

If you don't install security updates you're being stupid and increase your risk of getting malware a lot. If you disable windows defender without installing any alternative you're giving viruses and malware free reign to do anything once they reach your computer.

Nano adblocker will prevent some of the viruses, but only in some cases.

Your defense recommendations are the computer equivalent of leaving door wide open because you've installed security bars that prevent unwanted visitors from entering through windows.

Because my favorite kind of updates are the ones that add messages on Windows 7 to update to Windows 10 or recently there was a report of a new one which was a full screen message obstructing all work. Another favorite update of mine back when I had Windows 7 was when my Internet Explorer (which I don't use but still annoying) got a new "New Tab page" which showed news and other things I never asked for. Turns out the only way to get rid of this is to uninstall the latest IE and either stick with IE 8 or reinstall the latest version and disable updates.

I have Windows 10 and I don't even understand the point of half the updates I'm getting. Since it's not as easy as in Windows 7 to turn them off, I just let it slide, but I don't think they benefit anything. It's only the sheeple who believe that updates fix system flaws or that Firefox doesn't collect and sell your user data to Google for money.

And same goes for antivirus software. They're placebo effect - when you see that green checkmark that says everything is OK and you sigh in relief, but if you get a red X and says viruses detected, you're as good as dead. That's a lot of bull.

I haven't used an antivirus for 11 years and never had a single virus or had to reinstall Windows because I got infected.

What you're describing is the opposite of tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists - the sheeple that eat everything they are fed, sometimes even anally.

How do you know that you've never had a virus?  Maybe you've never had a virus that was so bad that it made your entire computer horribly slow.  But malware that does that is badly designed, as it will be far more effective if you don't notice it and just leave it running for years.  Your computer could easily have been part of a botnet or mining cryptocurrency for someone else for years without you noticing.

Even conspiracy theorists agree that you should try to know and understand stuff. What you're describing is just lazy ignorance of choosing the most convenient option and belief.

Most malware is designed so that spotting it would require an effort, so it's no wonder you haven't spotted any in 11 years.

GladDog

Lets say you own a house;  Lets say you have a loose piece of siding with an access panel to your furnace room behind it.  Someone uses that panel to get into your house and makes a room for himself in your unused attic.  He eats your food when you are away, uses your shower, finds some cash you have hidden in a drawer,  And downloads much porn onto your home laptop and starts a porn site, making a ton of money.  He also finds a spare house key.  All of this is without you knowing it is even happening, if the house invader is careful.  You may notice your food disappearing faster than you thought it would, but that seems kind of insignificant.  This can go on for weeks, months, or even years.

 The siding manufacturers have noticed a propensity for boards to come loose if there is too much heat on one side, so they send repairmen out to repair or replace the affected boards.  They see that the boards across from the furnace panel are loose and needs to be replaced, but they also note evidence of an illegal entry.  So they let the owner know, who calls the police and they find the home invader, and haul him off to jail.  They also suggest you change locks, as well as your passwords for all of your sites.  As you change your passwords, only then do you notice the porn site running on your laptop.

After finding the porn site, you do as suggested and change all of your locks.

Because if my computer slowed down or acted weirdy, I would know.

I remember back in the day when I got a new single core 0.133 Ghz processors computer together with 0.056 mbps net connection and Windows 95.

Assuming a modern computer with 4 cores each clocked 3.4 Ghz and 10 mbps net connection, someone could be running equivalent Windows 95 on your computer while using just 1% of its resources.

Detecting the slowdown caused by viruses worked occasionally before 2000, but today it's a lost cause because your average computer is too powerful.

Malwarebytes and win10 with defender is all you need.

Having used most free and paid virus programs and suites...the above seems to work the best and be the least intrusive and trouble free for me.

But to each their own. Use what makes you feel ok at the security level you think you need.

But that's just it:  well-designed malware won't make your computer noticeably slow down or act weirdly.  They want to do whatever they're there to do without you noticing so that they can keep doing it for years.

I want you to try an experiment.  Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then open Task Manager from the menu that appears.  The Processes tab will give you a list of processes running on your computer right now.  And there's a lot more if you go to the Services tab.  Do you know what all of those things running on your computer right now are?  If not, then how do you know that one of them isn't a virus?  A keylogger wouldn't need much in the way of resources, after all.
