AVs are not the ultimate solution to get rude of viruses & malwares, not everything is 100% safe. But a good AV & common sence would make the likeliness of you getting a virus/malware way lower

I certainly agree.

Having some form of protection, Is better than nothing at all. It's good practice to also have Malwarebytes Installed- It can run alongside any AV without compatibility Issues.
