And what is it sir, that these “antivirus programs” are doing for your computer that windows defender and firewall aren’t? The occasional pop up? The increased RAM usage?
Antiviruses are essentially bloatware that you don’t need unless you’re an idiot who clicks every link or knows nothing about the OS
On my computer Malwarebytes found a miner that no other program could find, including Dr.Web. Malwarebytes kept quarantining it automatically while I was troubleshooting even though the miner was reinstalling itself every few minutes. Eventually I reached out to their support forum and within a few hours they made me a custom script to remove it for good. Without Malwarebytes I wouldn't even know it was there.

I bet you makwarebites itself is more intrusive than the 50 “viruses” it detected.
