I have ordered my PC and now the question of whether virus scanners make sense.
For me, this is always so that virus scammers complain about harmless Minecraft mods and almost no viruses recognize such. (happened to me 5 years ago) cracked minecraft is recognized as harmless by the virus scanner.
Windows Defender is perfect. The anti virus system has always annoyed and on my old PC share the CPU, HDD or Internet blocks. Because of this, use my brain for some time while downloading and clicking on unknown links! Since I installed a Ryzen 1600 and an 860 Evo, I can't say anything about modern hardware, but it should still be annoying!
👍 We agree 😉
Virus scanners make many users careless on the Internet. You click on dubious links, "because they have installed an oh so great virus scanner". This behavior can make some systems less secure than a system without AV.
Apart from a few scenarios in which the AV is compromised and which damage product can always slobber with extended rights to the system.
My opinion is that virus scanners from Windows 10 are no longer worthwhile. The additionally offered features of AVs will be perceived by the fewest. The Windows Defender is perfect.
Most important, however, is: https://brain.yubb.de/
If you play Minecraft under free Linux, a virus scanner is not necessary because there are no working pests.
If you play Minecraft under the unsafe Windows (according to Mark Russinovich, MS) you will need a virus scanner due to the 380000 new malware that floods the Web every day. The Federal Office for Security in Information Technology sees this as the only solution, according to the current management report. It is a pity that MS does not get the issue under control.
