Meh, I am still not convinced of Virus Scanners, even on windows. A process running with root rights, with parsers for all kinds of complicated file formats, opening freshly downloaded files automatically? Yeah, no.
Update your shit, don’t download shady software, have good default settings in your browser and mail programs. Maybe throw in some MAC like SELinux if supported.
In Windows not longer needed, due to the experience through decades beeing the most atacked OS, nowadays the Defender among with the sandbox system is one of the best AV out there (independent AV Test). This certainly was bad for the traditional AV, which are now searching other victims, passing often to shady methodes to promote their product.
Windows is (by default) a privacy nightmare, but in question security is currently pretty strong protected (at least one thing well made). Maybe also the reason why hackers now are more centred in Linux and Mac.
