    I’m not convinced that third party security suites on Windows have a net positive effect. They create new vulnerabilities, and they introduce new and off-brand interaction patterns to the users (security warnings, popups, reminders, etc) which make it easier to trick users into clicking on a malicious popup.
    Maybe there are very specific cases where a system needs to be hardened by using specific security software, but in general I think the OS should handle security for general use.
