It’s been a long while since i used a desktop and honestly can’t remember what antivirus software i used, and even then, probably the landscape has changed over the years.

Atm i’ve been winging it with just Windows Defender (no custom configuration) and scanning any thing that looks suspicious on VirusTotal, but probably that would be not enough.

I’m thinking on get a couple of pirated files, so i’d like to be as secure as possible.

    Windows defender is fine if you use a good adblocker and learn what is or isn’t a safe download.

    These are mutually exclusive.

      It is possible to take risks while reducing the possibility of a bad outcome or mitigating the consequences of said outcome

    Linux.

    Honestly, not even joking. It’s just not something you have to care about when you run Linux.

    One of the advantages of using a platform with like 3% userbase. But it’s a great platform.
