Which is why these type of programs come with ways to exclude IP addresses, websites, files, and programs form being detected as dangerous or harmful.

Do some research before commenting. I heard it from the news, but here is a link, many more can be found

anti-virus products stop only 45 percent of the cyberattacks today

While that is only an interview with one antivirus, they're not just talking about their own products.

I've tried AVG (Free and paid) Malwarebytes, McAfee and G-Data. All have slowed my computer down significantly. Yet, running without it, I have never had a problem with adware, no foreign programs are installed, and if something did happen, it is quicker for me to format my hard drive than it is to run a scan (By that point, you probably have so much junk on your hard drive its a good idea anyhow)
