I made my numbers up to prove a point.
Antivirus has it's place of course but they are not all created equal. There's a lot of marketing B.S. associated with AV products, especially consumer versions.
A lifetime ago I worked in IT support and AV was a constant pain point. For me it was a lot of energy wasted cleaning up PCs that were "protected" by the likes of Symantec and Norton. I hope the state of the industry has improved since then.
