Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 888733, member: 31436"] How did you get infected so quickly? I use my main computer for 12+ hours a day with only an antivirus to protect it and don't ever get infected. I visit countless websites every day and never even encounter any malware. The only time I get an alert from my antivirus, is for occasional false positives. One exception to that, is on very rare occasions, when I download an installer it will be a repackaged installer, rather the original one. But it's important to note, that not only does my antivirus detect and automatically quarantine these, but even if the installer did contain or would download malware, I would of course have to actually launch the installer to get infected. You may ask, how am I sure that my system is clean, as maybe I am infected by a threat that my AV doesn't detect. I know my system is clean, as multiple second opinion scanners find no malware.
