Folks, if you're going to have a third-party antivirus/security program on your PC, then please keep it up to date. If you decide to let the subscription lapse, then uninstall it.

Also adding “please don’t delete my production data” or similar in the prompt doesn’t count as a safeguard
Remember that you don't need expensive software or subscriptions to make great art! Everything I draw is made with the free and open source Krita, whose developers you should support for their awesome work!
