[QUOTE="bayasdev, post: 915280, member: 41799"] Btw I'm using Arch Linux without any AV but on Windows by design there's always the possibility of clicking on a malicious executable by mistake and compromising your system. In theory if MIcrosoft some day implemented a built-in package manager/software repository and removed the ability to directly execute files on explorer.exe and forcing people to use Powershell to manually give a file the execution attribute and then running the file malware will stop being a common thing on Windows systems but everybody will complain about that.
