Isn't that like saying there's no point in using an anti virus as viruses are always evolving?

You're still catching entire classes of existing issues..

You're very close to understanding something.

You mean, you are catching exploits for vulnerabilities that don't exist anymore, and you pay for that with a gigantic attack surface that can be used to compromise you? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Bad example. Anti virus software is a scam. Just adds another attack vector when the anti virus software has a bug in their file parsing & makes it that you can be impacted by just downloading a malicious file

Windows Defender is sufficient & bundled with Windows

I mean I never said anything about buying one you just assumed that. I also just use windows defender of which part of that is an anti virus..
