Now I know it's 2017, and you are either smart enough to not get a virus or the virus you get will ransom your computer and a reformat is essentially your only option.
But I have been asked by normies to recommend a good antivirus client. My usual advice is "avoid viruses".
But if pressed I don't really know what amswer to give and I was wondering what /g/ thought on the matter?

This is basically like saying "I'm going to go walking around at night in gang territory and don't want to get killed, what's the best bullet proof vest to wear?" An antivirus isn't like a condom, you can't just wear it before going on a dirty site to protect yourself.

On topic OP. It's pretty much as you suspect. Either you avoid viruses and you're never infected or you get a virus because you're an idiot and you need to reformat to clear it out.
Antiviruses only exist so that low level techies have something to blame.

I use avast and common sense, and computers today are so fast that AV doesn't really slow down enough for you to notice, especially with SSD and M.2.
Haven't had a single virus warning in 6 years (excluding the false positives that have happened 2-3 times because I wanted to use an old keygen for a game (features copy to cdkey field, thus triggered a warning).
