running a computer without antivirus?

Troy Burnham
Hi All,
I know 2 people, a friend of mine who is a computer
trainer and also the guy who repairs my computers for me, who have mentioned to
me that they don't have an antivirus program running on their computers at all
time, and at least in the case of my friend who does this he says that he just
scans any files that he receives as attachments before he opens
them.
In the case of the guy who repairs my computer he
says that antivirus programs just slow his computer down so much, and there are
so many viruses out there now that the antivirus programs don't even detect and
that's the reason he doesn't bother with antivirus anymore, and I just wondered
what the people in the know on this list think. I have malware bytes pro
that I keep updated, so is there a need for an antivirus program? I'm
currently running the free version of avast btw.
Oh and another thing, I'm only running windows 7
and it sounds like my computer guy might be running windows 10 because he did
say that there's something built into windows 10 that kind of acts like an
antivirus.
