A mix of Avast and Avira, free versions, here. Both outperform MSE at
AV-Comparatives and Virus Bulletin.

For malware, Malwarebytes Free.

I don't have any active anti-virus. Never had.
Have not gotten a virus in 25+ years on the internet.
But I could get one in the next few minutes and so anyone.

JS for email is OFF.
HTML for email is OFF.


I don't think my email prog. (Turnpike) can do JS. It _can_ do HTML, but
only rendering, not any sort of scripting.
