For the most part, all anti virus software I’ve found that is pretty “mainstream” are bad or have backdoors built for bad people.
Macafee -absolute Spyware, delete it Kaspersky - Russian ties apparently - but I don’t believe reports from Just the US, and they’ve been pretty integral to the security space for businesses for years. I’m not sold on them being ‘bad’ yet. Norton - not malware, but not good and going the Macafee route
I hear good things about BitDefender, and Windows Defender is mostly good enough for the average person + an adblocker and you’re good to go.
I think we’re still missing the mark because it’s tax payer money.
Rip immunity from that fucker and let it come out of his pension (if he’s got one) or garnish his wages like everybody else.
