Tbh Linux is kinda enough. Difference between a computer and a human is that you can limit what goes in. Also most viruses are for windows, the equivalent would be covid only working on Asian people that ate the bat or had sex with the people that did.
Most viruses these days are mobile in nature which gives you a 50% shot of which *nix you’re on. You’re either on a Unix like os based on MacOS or heavily modified Linux kernel.
umm, shouldn’t you elaborate more? imo opinion using Kaspersky can save a lot of newbies getting into piracy, so what experience is making us hate on it on forums and discourage using it? I’d understand if you said you prefer Malwarebytes which is American based I think and the best competitor out there to Kaspersky. But saying that AVs are scams is simply not true by logic and by experience.
Also most cracks are from South America nowadays. Russians did many as well, but the crackers aren’t likely to be affiliated to the government and dont fund a war.
Lot of stuff, but you can mostly avoid it when you are aware of it. You cant look into everything but you don’t need to buy stuff you know is likely infested with winnie-pooh.exe it’s the quantity that makes the poison deadly, limit the amount of China intake to live a happy and sustainable life.

I downvoted because its a Russian company and anti-virus are a scam in general.

Linux is not enough, that’s a dated mindset.

You can uninstall an anti virus not not the covid vaccine.
Lmao

You do realize where 99% of pirated anything comes from, right?
You do realize where 99% of stuff is manufactured, right? The device you are using right now has components made in China.
Ew a pro China person.
Taiwan is a country!

Correct, doesn’t change the fact a lot of stuff is still made in mainland China.
Which doesn’t change the fact that you can do your due diligence to avoid purchasing things made there? That is their point, afterall…
