Windows does now provide a great base level of security to virtually all. But public's understanding has not advanced to account for this.

But what's the harm, really? Antivirus rarely _causes_ infection*, and it does help people in some situations. *except NSA/GRU/researchers

But it's time to reframe. The public is routinely scared into installing fake computer supplements that do nothing. Or which are poison.

The public thinks the solution to computer security is in a pill they add to their computer, instead of their lifestyle and consumption.

Having a public obsessed with retrofitting their god-given* computers to achieve security is not without harm. *Bill Gates

You routinely hear people ask why their antivirus didn't stop their Facebook or email from getting hacked. (It was through password reuse.)

Supplementation can help you with deficiencies in some areas, but people believing it can help any problem, is its own detriment, too. //END
