NO TECH SUPPORT QUESTIONS

I’ve looked this up a lot, and I keep getting completely different results in each page I clicked.

I want to know what is the best, most secure antivirus, that’s universal (Supports Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android), that detects 100% of malware.

It doesn't need to support Linux, but I thought it would be nice.

If you think "antivirus that detects 100% of malware" doesn't exist, then the one that finds the most malware the fastest

Yes, it can be anti-malware too, but it should fit the conditions above as well.

(Disclaimer: This question and similar questions were Googled before asking here, and I did not find the answers I was looking for.)

in terms of prevention? Comodo, as far as commonly used solutions go, you need to know how to configure it though you also need to know how to handle the alerts it gives you and understand that it won't ever give you an alert when everything is fine, that's the catch. A lot of people have fucked up their entire computer when using comodo because they didn't configure it correctly or blocked/sandboxed the wrong thing.

in terms of detection? Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Sophos, microsoft defender with configure defender on MAX, Avast/AVG

Avast and AVG are owned by the same company

Avira is also pretty good in terms of detection, but the setup file will never go away even after you uninstall it.

I'm not going to reveal what my security setup is, there's a certain someone that's probably going to end up on Lemmy who I've encountered on many of their sock puppet accounts. That person is definitely stalking my posts and comments on reddit after some of the stuff I've said to them.
