Malware issue........NOPE
Stability issue..........NOPE
Actually i've been doing this since Win7 era & never got any malware/spyware/ransomware bc i know what I'm doing exactly.
Actually the people who afraid about malware itself because people always visit some shady website, clicking shady links, & install shady software from it without knowing at all
Fixed that for you
Well i hope i never get malware
It's been 12 years streak that's i never got any malware on my PC/Laptop with UAC disabled permanently + only using NOD32/ESET as my daily antivirus (I don't like others antivirus even if it's from Microsoft)
You probably already have no-click cryptojacking malware from a malvertisement and don't even know it.
You wanna know what's way more effective than any anti-virus? An ad blocker + common sense. Unironically, the FBI & CISA tell you to use Adblock.
I haven't used any anti-virus at all on Windows, Linux, or MacOS for the past maybe 10ys. What's funny is that anti-virus is never 100% accurate and tends to slow down your computer. What's even funnier, is that Windows built-in anti-virus "Windows Defender" is already the most effective AV rendering any extra AV completely redundant & pointless.
Well i used adblocker with custom filter & script in it + i already masking my host & DNS for total secure. Even i already using it since before internet became suck
I got your point other antivirus other than Windows Defender is suck, but i really trust ESET/NOD32 because I've ben using it from really long time (20 years exactly) & it never got any issue since beginning
You use Windows, the spyware is already baked in. Windows profiles you & phones home and 3rd party companies the moment it gets an Internet connection, even in the installation environment.
Well you right, but i already disabled all that telemetry things + total debloat my windows
