my ip is dynamic, i'm not worried about that, being a target or not, they still need to find a way to infect me, which mean that they need that i download something or click on something, almost impossible

i think if you are really careful and know what your are doing, you are the best antivirus of your desktop, but i agree that such thing isn't advisable, average joe don't have the patience for something like this, they can not manage their own security
Sorry, you think that you've got it figured out, but you don't. Opening a single email could be the ticket to your Bitcoin hell.

well you need more than one antivirus, for example you can malwarebytes, also the free version of av isn't the same as the full version

anyway strong virus(like those that can hides themselves in any folder) are not a thing of everyday, it isn't that easy to be infected by those
No. Having multiple antivirus software is a bad idea because they will counteract each other. They will start fighting over viruses, they will try to kill each other and sap your power. However, it is okay to have an AV and Malwarebytes.
Strong viruses aren't a thing of that you would encounter everyday, correct. However, this goes only for your average internet users.

and the most of trojans or keyloggers cannot be detectd by the most AVs (i'm got some victims of my keylogger the detection of AVs ar just 3 anti-viruss that detect it)
and the most of hackers or data stollers just stole passwords (especially paypal , banks) and credit cards numbers but i don't think about bitcoin private keys.
You know that you can get your money back from Paypal or a bank? Good luck getting someone to send your Bitcoins back.
