Här är lite statistik på hur de kan påverka webbläsare, presenterat av Google Chromes säkerhetschef Justin Schuh. Visa gärna för sambon. Se även mitt tidigare inlägg #16810619.

Load times up to 20% slower
TLS errors up to 15% higher
Här är några kompletterande uttalanden från Firefoxutvecklare:
Klotz: Injected AV code is Firefox's single biggest stability problem on Windows at the moment.
Klotz: Stability issues too. Q1 2017 I'm going to be kicking injected AV out of Firefox
King: Not speaking for my employer (@mozilla) but AV causes piles of security issues for Firefox.
King: AV isn't a problem? Huge numbers of crashes/slowdowns inside Firefox are caused by them.
Utvecklare: "Antivirus-mjukvara är ett gissel"

(Microsoft, on the other hand, is generally competent.)
Users have been fooled into associating AV vendors with security ...
