Windows with its built-in Windows Defender and your Common Sense 2019 Computer Professional Edition is going to be enough nowadays.

Just to clarify, does Common Sense 2019 Pro come with an ad-blocker for protection against malvertising? I still run into a lot of people who think malvertising isn't a thing. It was worse back when flash adverts were common, but it's still really bad

Install them uBlock Origin and 99% of the problems are gone.

Unfortunately common sense is not very common

fortunately, but how will these AV industry survive is the question?

[trilila]

As a rare windows user (two or free times a year) i never trust a machine without an av. maybe things changed, but i see windows as so unsafe that i would not even login with to regular email, let alone make online payments. I simply see that os as a vulnerability by default.

I don't run Windows myself, but honestly: Remote exploitable Windows vulnerabilities on a default install are somewhat rare nowadays. MS has come a long way here.

I remember the smashing the stack for fun and profit windows days. It was so easy to inject shell code it was laughable. Btw can you still name a file smss.exe, run it, and not end the process with the task manager?

[yrro]

I just tried this on Windows 10 1903 and had no problem ending the process with task manager.

You live in the XP days.

The majority of the Windows haters I come across seem to be the same.

[cameronbrown]

Mate, seriously? Windows itself has come a long way to be considered stable. The real risk is user-space applications, like.. AV's.

*AVs

Sorry to tell you that you simply have no idea of what you're talking about.
