AV is stupid. A better protection is script blocking in a browser. uMatrix, noScript etc.
Also disable remote content in email viewer.
Indeed it's Stupid MS is the problem. Why they EVER thought "Autorun", ActiveX in Web browser, remote content on by default in Outlook, VBA on by default in Office or hiding file endings was a good idea is a mystery.
