Toot

For a while, I've been running AVG antivirus. I'd like to use BitDefender but of course it's completely inaccessible. At least, it was five years ago, and I doubt that's changed since.

Being at the mercy of developers feeling generous enough to code #accessibility into their products is insanely limiting, frustrating, and in some cases, outright dangerous. Since I'm not sure I trust Windows Defender to be good enough protection.

@JesseF8693 Windows Defender is fine, particularly if you follow some best practices and have an ad blocker that works. End-user antivirus software is a dead industry clinging onto the cliff face by its fingernails.

@jscholes I do, I'm just cautious and like I said, not sure I trust Defender to catch stuff.

@JesseF8693 The last time I used AVG, it destroyed a program I had installed, thinking it was a virus, when it wasn't.

@shawnak This happens to me often. It's why I wish I could use BitDefender.
