   	So true. And on topic, though you could include the Linux and   
   Apple groups....   
   	It's why only idiots need resident AVs, although they would   
   still be vulnerable to zero-days.   
   	It is however good practice to periodically scan your computer   
   using a USB booted AV rescue disk. That will prevent any malware that   
   has altered the OS and its defenses from hiding from a scan.   
   	I thought the topic the datamining abomination called Win 11.   
   Who twisted the thread to AV products?   
   	At a guess, probably someone that NEEDS a resident AV, and   
   NEEDS to drink less.
