[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 894060, member: 31436"] In my case, I said that I use antivirus software, but would quite probably not get infected if I didn't use it. My antivirus never detects any malware on my system. The only things it detects are harmless PUPs which I have intentionally downloaded as well as occasional false positives. It never finds any malware. Of course no antivirus will detect all threats, but multiple second opinion scanners such as EEK, Kasperksy Virus Removal Tool, HitmanPro, etc, also never find any malware. I don't get infected, not because my antivirus is protecting me, but because I never encounter malware. That's not to say I will never get infected, but it's quite some time since I was last infected. [/QUOTE]
