sometimes i think, AV scanners are 'snake oil'. If you keep your system up tp date, you are on the safe side.

AV Scanners are Snake Oil.

To minimize virus and malware:

Use Linux on the desktop.
And use a good firewall.

Never had any trouble in the last 25 years with this combination.

Linzx is good, but a lot of software is 'windows only', for my job. But in private i use more 'free live' without the stress of the pc's  8) O:-) 8-)
