        It’s also a shit product riding on marketing laurels from its past glory days, like Norton. It leaves pieces behind that can cause malware to come roaring back.

        It isn’t hard to just nuke a system or restore a backup people.

        Proprietary sure, but how is it privacy invasive let alone invasive on computers?

        What non-proprietary option is there? I can’t think of a single antivirus option which is actually remotely decent which is open.

          ClamAV is an open source antivirus, but I would recommend against using an antivirus altogether due to their invasive nature. You shouldn’t need one with proper sandboxing and isolation.

            ClamAV is slow to get updates and frankly not a great tool to use. AV is a must as isolation and sandboxing are only as good as the next exploit. Not too mention scams like phishing are not stopped by isolation.
