Yeah, I don't disable Windows Defender on my workstation. I definitely make sure there's an AV product running any any machines I'm semi-responsible for though (think non-savvy friends and family). Oh, and I absolutely would make sure there's AV (and probably something like MBAM running as well) in any business environment I was responsible for. I also stopped pirating software quite some time ago too, so that helps. I still subject my browser to all kinds of dirty parts of the internet though.

Its been over a decade since I've triggered a non-false-alarm on an anti-virus product. So either I haven't been infected with anything, or I have and the AV products I've used were worthless.

I run an anti-virus as well as MBAM but I still strongly disagree with this statement.

Expert user here. Running MBAM Premium.

I just had a scan complete notification minimize a game. There's no way to disable this. No good. Will have to disable automatic scans until the notification no longer does this.
