I see antivirus as mostly useless, especially paid versions, because of the numerous False positives they present. Risk vs reward with a paid AV is not worth it, because most careful home work station users will never need it. It's basically a waste of hard earned money. I've used many flavours of Linux over the years, without any paid security products, and for my requirements, it has never once been compromised by malware. Luck or because of mostly end-user common sense, as well as the way I secured it with its built-in security features? I'd say the latter. Using Windows, I was compromised by malware on at least three occasions, mainly due to my own cavalier actions, and not because of a weakness in Windows.</blockquote>
