Looking for some insight into what everyone is using for antivirus. I have AVG a whirl but I experienced some weird stuttering on my M2 MacBook Air, so obviously I want something that is minimally impactful on performance while still being accurate.

Even on the windows side you are better off with the 1st party defender features these days.

Enterprise use 3rd party AV for central orchestration and control. Theres no reason for this in consumer land.

The threat detection isn't meaningfully better across any of them (aside from some being "astonishingly bad") despite what vendors claim.

The best people to know how to protect your OS are the people that made it.
