Ok! I have used computers for a very long time and also used AV software and have not one problem of computer going on a fritz. Sounds to me "Unknown" that you either don't know how to even use AV that works or you just so ignorant to even try one for your
self to say that is not worth it. How can you say not worth having if you never used one? Firewall is to block in and out from virus but not to get rid of one and also not all Firewalls are as good as you say either. I am not saying AV are all perfect eith
er. Not all Firewalls are perfect either. So complaining to make people not use something because you think you can control people to make their decision for them is not going to help them or you on anything. So the best thing for anyone here is to try and
make there own opinion on what they use for themselves. Experience themselves of what works and does not. Anyone knows you can not make someone elses opinion for them. They have to make it on there own.

I know about computers and software, that's precisely why I don't need AV
programs and don't get viruses.

Not if one knows how to follow the relatively simple instructions
that come with them, and know a little about computers and software in
general. Most applications, whether anti-viral or otherwise, cause
problems _only_ if used(misused) by the willfully ignorant.

They cause far more problems than they prevent.
