So.. I've got 1 Windows box (which I barely use) .. and 2 Debian boxes (my daily drivers).
There's ESET NOD32 (don't like the free ones) on all of them and the license is about to expire. Should I renew it?
I mean.... there was not a single incidence with malware/viruses since I purchased the AV. Which may be because I (usually) know what I'm doing and acting paranoid af.
On the other hand... better save than sorry 🤔
what's your opinion?
@TFG I have something like a month-long outage in the lab in my home country because I didn't bother with Windows firewall and an anti-virus. So yeah, if you aren't ready to redo your whole set-up and check for exploitation impact, I'd say that having an antivirus and a firewall on a windows host itself is a good idea.
I've tooted a while ago that Windows machines are still more or less attack vectors and it was stupid of me to think otherwise.
