Anti Virus issue

Today we all run anti virus programs to help keep crap off our PC'S . Some are free . I run a couple 1 at a time to avoid any conflict .And 1 program will not get everything !
One to not use IMO is AVG .
Yes it works and is a old program but the bad thing is it is extremely hard to remove and may have a conflict with your PC security programs :O
I am sure if you are PC savvy the detailed removal will go along fine but I am not :O that is why I am dropping mine off to a shop lol I would probably mess up something lol
What have you had issue with ?
Thanks

ROBOCALLS on my cell phone! I get as many as a dozen a day. I will not answer any call from a number I don't recognize, even if it is a local number. If it is something important they will leave a message and I will call them back. But still, it is as annoying as hello.

No issues, no virus problems, no malware issues.

I don't use any not even the builtin crap. I am the only one that uses my computers so I know where I go.
I do have anti ad extension on my browser and ad blocking DNS server (Pi-Hole) on a old Raspberry Pi.
