Just read this regarding AV and why this dev thinks we need it turning off but keeping Micrsoft's on.

Just wondering what you guys think of this?

I must say, I've not used AV for years and years. I torrent and will every few months run a malware checker but it never finds anything. I don't really do anything confidential on my PC though but have a separate one just for work.

I've had one virus in 20 years of PC using, big warning on the screen as part of it and that was from my brother sending me a game file. Simple format reinstall job.
