Most antivirus I tested, even the paid ones, are so annoying with popups and complaining about cracks that I just take the risk and go without em
I use ESET and rate of false positives is very low for me (as long as you disable detect “potentially unwanted applications”, it asks during installation).
This is impossible, all antivirus will give false positive sometimes and they will be annoying since they need to be intrusive to “catch” some virus
You’re not going to find an antivirus that isn’t intrusive because that is their entire duty. However, Kaspersky has a very high malware detection rate compared to other AV solutions
Use the megathread, it has lists of trusted providers (goat symbol).
Of course, that’s not good enough, so my “antivirus” is to use an entirely separate device for gaming/piracy and a lower power device for production and work. If my gaming device gets compromised, the attacker will just know how many hours I spend in vampire survivors :)
I haven’t used an Antivirus in years… That’s one advantage of GNU OS’s. I run cracks inside sandboxes which then run Wine and DXVK for compatibility.
