[QUOTE="Ink, post: 864603, member: 3"] I would say "[I]System hardening + own caution[/I]" is applicable for most non-Windows users. + Windows 10 comes with WDA built-in AV. - Microsoft allows users to use 3p AV on non-S-Mode devices. - Windows OS is still vulnerable to malware (due to end user). + Apple's macOS comes with no built-in AV, and nor does iOS/iPadOS. - Mac users can still use 3p AV, still able to get malware - Apple does not allow AV apps on the App Store, therefore you cannot install an AV for iOS. + Google's Android comes with passive Play Protect on certified supported devices. - Google does allow AV apps on the Google Play Store, therefore you can install an AV for Android. - Android has an extensive malware problem, much greater than iOS.
