If you're smart with where you navigate and what you download, you don't need these scams.

But the nice man in the store told me I need Norton, McAfee and something called "Super Anti Virus Protector Rip-Off Store Edition"
And it will help protect me online. They gave me a special deal for only $199 too

Why do you even need virus protection? What sites do you visit that require you to have one? I don't get it. I've never had a virus protection and I've been using the internet since 1999....I even had Napster, Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire, etc....and never got one at all...

Ok look the nice man in the store said that HACKERS can LITERALLY HACK MY BANK without an ANTIVIRUS so I NEED one to be SAFE online.

Drive-by malware on legitimate sites is a thing.

Literally haven't had a virus in 15 years with no anti virus protection.

Agreed.

The only thing that duo seems to fail on (only in removing, not finding) is Browser Hijackers which i think are relatively harmless, just annoying (IE Adware), though that may be due to me being a very active user of the Google Chrome sync across all devices.

Atleast Browser Hijackers dont move from the infected machine, but its a minor pain to get rid off...

Joking aside an adblocker (a good one like ublock origin) and weekly scanning with malware bytes should solve most issues if you don't use an admin account (which you shouldn't by default)
