“Why do experts say that it is not advisable to install free antivirus software on a PC?”

Are your “experts” selling antivirus software, perhaps?

The fact is: The price of a thing does not necessarily correspond to its overall quality or true value.

For antivirus apps (free or paid), check the tests results posted by independent agencies such as AV-Test.org. You’ll see that several free apps are among the top-ranked tools.

(Of note: The free Windows Defender — built into every copy of Windows 10 — has actually matured into a top-ranked AV tool, on par with the better commercial apps; and objectively better than a number of for-a-fee commercial apps!)

So spend your money if you want to —- there indeed are some excellent commercial apps out there to choose from.

But you probably don’t have to spend a dime, regardless of what your “experts” say. 🙂
