    If you have Windows 10/11 or Mac and you're a low risk user, the built-in protection should be all that you need. Otherwise, you'll be better protected using another program mentioned in this video instead... Thanks for watching :)

      What activity would you regard as low risk Brett? Or perhaps, what would you regard as high risk? Thanks.

    • @BrettInTech
      @BrettInTech  7 місяців тому +5

      @michaelrussell220 Some examples of high risk would be clicking on unknown links, browsing on unsecured sites, and downloading from sketchy sites to name a few.

    I think another BIG consideration is the NAG factor. An AV should just run quietly in the background letting you forget about it, but some keeping trying to pressure you to upgrade with nag screens and pop ups for this and that.

    the avira 1.1.89.1 version lags my system due to its insistence of installing some security suite/package with out my knowledge. or covertly does it when a pop up is made by the app. If a virus is defined by malicious intent by not letting the user know the app wants to do something you dont want to then wont this qualify as a virus?
