- I don’t use AV anymore so I don’t know what to say lol. Anyway After downloading a lot of applications I usually just check out the files it requires, and run it in VM or sandboxie (preferred) first. Also, it’s quite obvious where you download it from too. Some download sites just scream I’m a virus to begin with, so yeah. Overall, its my strong gut feeling mixed with a lot of knowledge and love for tech. Plus research your download thoroughly first. Once you find a download from a specific person just save their profile link or website.
- One more thing, I use to tinker with my windows a lot so I have a real good understanding of where everything is and the performance of my windows (Task manager: I always check this daily for some reason. It’s a habit. If something is out of the ordinary such as cpu or memory I investigate thoroughly)

- Conclusion: stick to Win defender if you already know your computer. If you don’t mess around with your computer a lot, go ahead and go find any AV, cuz they all gonna do the same thing(Make your computer run like shiot, especially with all the cracking and stuff it would really slow you down).

I love your response because that was me too I just followed always my instinct. Sometimes you can tell that the site or whatever your downloading from is sketchy. Where I downloaded the file was a telegram group with the sending messages option disabled now could you believe it there you cant even aware the other people that files there contain malwares! Now I guess I will just try to be more cautious.

Anyway now Im resetting my pc
After this reset I will just stick to learn coding and create my own config and other things, together with that I will create a System Restore point just in case.

Be sure to always have a VM readily available.

If files are accessed via unknown sources, execute them In the VM.
