How come I never get any virus?!

asifali

I never had any computer virus on my PC; how come? Been using Bitdefender Total Security for more than 2-3yrs and even before Bitdefender, no antivirus ever found any virus on my drives(both internal and external backup storages).

I wonder if things are working normal. I mean, at least a little virus should be detected. I don't go on bad websites though. Maybe that's why? But, I do transfer files between my devices(Android, PCs, MacBook Air) via network sharing or Bluetooth. At least, one of them should throw an alert...., no?

Hi Member,

It is really great to know that you have been malware free for 2-3 years. You have never visited any bad website (phishing/ malicious) website as you told, then why worry.

Again you told that none of the other AV also detected any malicious stuff on your different devices including bitdefender, this clearly states that you are not at all infected. There is no need to worry.

Until you visit genuine websites the chances of being infected is negligible.

Another piece of advice : If somehow you ever think that a particular file/ website might be malicious according to you, you can always check it on virustotal (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) and also send it to bitdefender malware researchers via forum (https://www.bitdefender.com/submit/) . If the files/ website tends to be verified as malicious by bitdefender malware researchers, detection will be added within 72 hours to bitdefender product.

If this helps, kindly click agree .
