Honestly, obviously an antivirus industry advocate thinks people should give more money to the antivirus industry. A better story would be hearing you rationalize that, and hear why giving money makes antivirus better.

What is your advice to family and friends when they ask you if they need an AV?

Replying to @lorenzofb @ryanaraine and
Who asks that? They already have AV, so is the real question "should I disable mpsvc?" or "should I pay/have newtab page hijacked instead?". The answer to first is "complicated, but doesn't matter too much, ms actually know what they're doing", answer to latter is "lol no".

A better answer is "get a chromebook" or "get an ipad", but that wasn't what you asked.
