Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 774957"] I can assure you it's not a myth, as I ran Windows without any security software for over 10 years, and never got infected nor accounts stolen. In fact the closest I got to accounts stolen, is when the websites themselves are compromised (which is exactly what Umbra said). Not that worries me, as I use 64-bit different passwords in all the websites ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ PS: As for the CCleaner case, you should block software that doesn't Internet connection in the Firewall, that is also a safe habit (it even helps you get rid of forced telemetry).
