You said it well !long never-ending loop-talk thread lol
I'm good with all that in bold and above (and I'm kinda old but not PC wise ☻) I just use a minimum free AV/malware like AVG free or WD & mbam & mbam anti exploit free configurations on 4 Win 10 PC's here because like you say all that paid crap aint all that anyway if you know something IMO and if know what to do if you get had by something and back up or clean it up ............all that ain't worth paying for or obsessing about for experienced users and none of that can keep up with the maware geysers out there anyway .
2 CIO's I know personally ( one relative ) and our IT folks told me all that many years ago anyway so did anybody I ever ran across that knew anthing about computers anyway.
Some people are just beating a dead horse .............TBH I shouldn't take the bait anyway I been at this a long time and know all I Need to know about all this and and fixing a PC and ( PC OS thats worth fixing without spending days on it ) and recovering files and data if it ain't (Linux Ubuntu can recover files and folders from a Windows hdd healthy partition well if you know how ) ofc I can roll in a backup.and I keep them .
And if I don't know something I got people that do anyway if it ain't on Ten Forums or somewhere but I got tons of notepad references in folders & bookmarks for a lot of that and ofc Google search .
OTOH if you don't know maybe refer to the first paragraph slyphnier wrote here above or get a tardpad ☻
