Cavalary: Well, security software can be used to monitor and control the system, which has the added benefit of allowing a knowledgeable user to keep themselves safe, without actually relying on the software itself to do so.
AWG43: If the user feel safer while using any of such software - that's fine, I guess. I don't use any anti-virus for many years now. Got no blue screens of death, no viruses or any type of malware. Only thing that I can complain is a hardware compatibility, which I manage to fortunately bypass. AS for me Windows 10 is more like a leash that prevents you from doing some stupid things online that you might regret. Setting local security politics for users on Windows 7 was always enough for me to be sure that those users wont do any harm to the system on their working PCs.
