I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

      Proprietary sure, but how is it privacy invasive let alone invasive on computers?

      What non-proprietary option is there? I can’t think of a single antivirus option which is actually remotely decent which is open.

        ClamAV is an open source antivirus, but I would recommend against using an antivirus altogether due to their invasive nature. You shouldn’t need one with proper sandboxing and isolation.

          ClamAV is slow to get updates and frankly not a great tool to use. AV is a must as isolation and sandboxing are only as good as the next exploit. Not too mention scams like phishing are not stopped by isolation.
