OP, be informed that Antivirus and Malwarebytes work based on how they are programmed and they are never a good way to avoid some malware on your PC because the good way to avoid something malicious on your PC depends on you.

When you say
Antivirus then you can't say in general that all AVs are good or bad and do their job the way they should.
You're right and thats the reason why I said AV works how they are programmed since I am not tech-savvy to do the testing you said you did.
I have tested many AVs over the years and for many (even very famous ones) I can say that they surprised me very unpleasantly with how aggressive they are, how much they have a negative effect on the OS and that they are difficult to configure for the average user.
It will be nice if you could list the AV you find to be worthwhile through your research because security should be the number one priority of every cryptocurrency investor or holder.
On the other hand, there are security solutions (not just AV) that in my opinion do their job very well, have little effect on the system and are not aggressive in any way. The problem is that most internet users are not aware of the dangers, do not think they need to be protected and in the end think that every AV is the same.
With a well-organized security system and good online habits, even Windows OS can be a secure environment - and I say this from personal experience.
Thank you for pointing out this vital information and I wish a lot of people can learn from what you said because in the mind of a lot of people the use of AV is enough to guarantee their security.
i will be happier if you could explain the way to the well-organized security system.
