    You probably already have no-click cryptojacking malware from a malvertisement and don’t even know it.

    You wanna know what’s way more effective than any anti-virus? An ad blocker + common sense. Unironically, the FBI & CISA tell you to use Adblock.
    I haven’t used any anti-virus at all on Windows, Linux, or MacOS for the past maybe 10ys. What’s funny is that anti-virus is never 100% accurate and tends to slow down your computer. What’s even funnier, is that Windows built-in anti-virus “Windows Defender” is already the most effective AV rendering any extra AV completely redundant & pointless.

      Well i used adblocker with custom filter & script in it + i already masking my host & DNS for total secure. Even i already using it since before internet became suck
      I got your point other antivirus other than Windows Defender is suck, but i really trust ESET/NOD32 because I’ve ben using it from really long time (20 years exactly) & it never got any issue since beginning
