I have a friend that I help keep his computer "clean" although he insists to visit and download from certain sites. Overall with a mixture of AV, Malwarebytes and adblockers it's been generally "better" over the past year (not perfect). His hard drive just crashed and he got another one. In order to get the information off the drive I booted into Ubuntu from a pendrive and saved it to an external. I half joked with him that I should put Ubuntu on his system and he said "sure". Would that help keep infections at bay or would it be more of a hassle in the long term? He's a casual PC user that just needs a browser and VLC.
