I’ve never had confirmed malware on a system. Maybe a stray PUP from an installer back when I was less knowledgeable. I have had a couple browser redirects to shady (or scandalous 😳) sites. Generally I reimage when that happens as an extreme precaution, since I never click anything when the page loads, but you never know. My dad did have his system trashed when I was a kid. I think some kind of virus attachment in the late 90s.
