[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 914995, member: 31436"] I agree. My antivirus does not keep my system free of malware, because I never encounter any. As a result, it has nothing to block. My system would remain free of malware even if I didn't use an antivirus. That's not to say that I'll never encounter malware and I do believe it is worthwhile to use an antivirus. In my opinion a lot of less experienced Windows users don't educate themselves about steps to avoid malware, because they believe that having an antivirus installed is all they need to do to keep them safe. Of course that's not the case, but it's understandable why they may think that way. If they do get infected, they blame the antivirus and don't take responsibility for their own actions. [/QUOTE]
