    Replaced it with Eset not long after that because even back then it was going downhill fast. Then I ditched Eset about a decade ago because Windows Defender had finally reached a point where it was pretty much as good as anything else.

      At this point I suspect sticking with Windows Defender (if you have to use Windows) may be the most sensible way to reduce your attack surface. At least it’s just one company you know is already spying on you. Who knows which other antivirus companies these days are spying for profit.
