8 years ago My system would have been so heavily infected that there was nothing an anti-virus solution could do about it, and I was too arrogant and inexperienced to do anything about it. I wasn't even aware that it was a real "risk". 

A 10 year old does what 10 year old's do - click-happy trying to find online games. Trying to reach that 8 ball pool page on Miniclip was like going through a tricky maze of rogue redirection's with performance reduction due to the active malware infection's. Then again, I doubt a criminal felt like logging into my 8 ball pool account to win me coins. LOL. Who knows though. 
We're in 2018 now and awareness about online threats is a lot higher, at-least there's that.
