Is Microsoft trustworthy?
If you believe it's worth to suggest your favorite AV and advertising your github-link even in this thread, you should use the correct name what changed long time ago: Microsoft DefenderWindows Defender. You Don't need anything else. Read more here to see why.
With all respect I completely disagree with you.They all collect your data and sell it. Just like the manufactures of your motherboard and other hardware, windows itself, your browser, google, facebook, iphone, android...
It doesn't matter, focus on performance.
Why should I need to look up for whatever. I was polite enough to write advertising instead of spam...Microsoft Defender, Windows Defender, Windows Security, I use them interchangeably. I have a suggestion for you though, next time look up what advertising means before using it.

I saw your posts for several times here in a lot of forum threads, always the same blah, blah, blah like Windows Security is all what we need to protect users. Of course, that is a valid opinion but there is no need to repeat same again and again to every similar topic when people talking about AVs on Windows
The fundamental issue here is not one of privacy but of exploitation of users. The company collecting and selling the data profits while the users who generate the data get nothing.Meta (facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram ...), Microsoft and Google and majority of the VPN providers are selling non-anonymized data of their customers. Meaning, name, address, Wifi location, visited websites, installed software and exact time points which all has happened.
Millions upon millions live their lives openly on the publicly visible internet. They have no privacy and experience no troubles from it.And the sentence "I have nothing to hide" is something which (IMO) the MOST STUPID sentence that I have ever heard.
The first off-topic was your personal github-link what has nothing to do with 3rd party AVs but that is also the topic of this thread.The only spam are your comments. you're the rude one and going off-topic here.
if you have a problem with my suggestions you can take it up to moderators and use the report button, but crying here, getting triggered and personally attacking others isn't in the forums rules.
F-Secure is excellent for the uninitiated unmanaged (home) user. After recommending it to home users, they install it and I rarely get call-backs from anyone asking "What does this alert mean?" or "What do I do, because I do not understand?" or "Why is this thing doing this?"Over the past several months, F-Secure has become my top choice for trustworthiness, protection, stability, & system performance.
I agree with you however, when it comes to privacy many people forget the DNS services. ISPs definately sells their customers data. Depending on the country anonymized or not.The fundamental issue here is not one of privacy but of exploitation of users. The company collecting and selling the data profits while the users who generate the data get nothing.

Except for people that routinely use public wifi or live in countries where there is oppression for dissent, most people do not need a VPN. Most of the people I know who use VPN do it so they can bypass blocks to Netflix and online porn.
The VPN industry has been called-out for misleading potential buyers that they are "more secure" and "have greater privacy."
From my direct observations of users daily, it shows that users know less about digital security today than in the past.Lack of up to date knowledge is the main problem here
I completely agree with you... and the situation with the personal privacy is even worseFrom my direct observations of users daily, it shows that users know less about digital security today than in the past.
The claim that users are becoming more security -savvy is completely false. They are more digital device-use savvy because they use their phones for just about everything in their lives, but they are not more security knowledgeable. Technology and technological "sprawl" are occurring at an extraordinary pace. Not only does the average user not prioritize security abover everything else, they also cannot keep pace with all the required knowledge to be safe. There is a monumentally huge gap in the everyday user's knowledge of digital security matters. Them saying "I know I need to install AV" as proof that they are knowledgeable is a joke.
Can't stress this enough. There's been too many "Fool me once" situations with Avast, AVG and Norton, and now that Norton OWNS them? Yeah, ##### that noise. That entire conglomerate will never touch one of my PCs again. I'd sooner use Kaspersky, and I will NEVER use Kaspersky.Avoid anything under the Gen Digital umbrella, that includes Avast, AVG, Avira, Bullguard (retired), Norton.
