You could (have) set her up with WD + ConfigureDefender or Hard_Configurator and that would probably save her from herself.
It was WD that let her down in the first place her problems most likely came from an infected USB stick while WD stood idly by. That's why she bought KIS, since that was installed she has been fine. I still maintain for the last time that for Google to recommend & to supply the means to remove an AV solution with no warnings is crazy. Infections don't just come from the web browser & I'm not a fan of WD anyway.
I'm sure she will be fine with Edge rather than no AV whatsoever which is what she ended up with thanks to following Google's recommendation. I can see Google's point, the way they are going about it is questionable. Suggesting the use of an alternative browser would be one. This is certainly one back slapping thread though.
