How is this related to a VPN? Antivirus does nothing against a MITM attack.

Woosh

I’m saying that no system is secure on a long enough timeframe . But that if you do get infected you can nuke and pave if you have a backup. Most of these VPN advertisers treat their product VPN like a magic shield / antivirus when it is In fact, nothing more than a fancy condom.

VPN is not an anti-virus program. Also, you can’t really backup your online accounts and restore them in case they are hacked.
