I haven’t heard anything about Avast in years, didn’t even know it still existed.
They're a giant I hear
Wait, they're not common anymore? Lol It's what I use. Any suggestions for better ones?
Microsoft defender, ublock origin and keep your computer up to date.
And practice Layer-8 security, i.e. don't be an idiot.
That's not really a choice you can make. Also idiots don't know they're idiots.
The whole don't be an idiot thing doesn't work well with most people. Most people just gøøg|€ everything and most likely don't have a clue when they're being sent to fake sites that will give them viruses. And some of them will even see macrohard defender essentially saying "Hey! You Fucked Up!" and ignore it because they surely know better than a computer.
I personally like to think that computer literacy right now is similar to back when people were just starting to push for everyone to be literate. Big difference is phones destroying that effort for computer literacy by oversimplifying everything.
Also eyeball and fingerprint scanners on all doors.
Easy. Just kill the owner and use their biometrics.
