Windows undetectable fileless malware

[ShadeDream]

First time I've heard of anything like it, Windows getting worse and worse by the day, just when you think that the only way you can get a virus is through an exe file now it can almost be through thin air.

I don't like Malwarebytes it blocks everything it doesn't like. I've been safe without it and I also don't have an anti virus.

I don't know wtf is wrong with me I keep making these stupid mistakes that I never used to make.
I was pretty sure I wrote "The PC guy" instead of "The PC guys"...

No bullshit here. I've been using Microsoft Windows ever since Windows 98. I'm quite tech savvy and aware of what I do. In my younger years I would be into warez, hacking, and other such stuff. I used to use Kaspersky with Windows Vista but eventually I didn't feel like paying for the license. I've been free from using anti virus software ever since Windows 7. I used to repair computers for other people where I'd clean them from viruses and / or malware. Sometimes I had to do a clean install but that was never an issue. The only time I've ever had problems with my computers was with malware, I've never had any problems with viruses. I just know what to click on and what to not and whenever I'm unsure of something I use a sanbox environment. Malware stopped being a problem for me too.

That would only work if you live in a basement without ever communicating with other people.

Windows has many vulnerabilitis, even undisclosed ones that are used by governmand aand early web. Your “I'm safe on Windows without protection because I can repair/clean WINDOWS” is a pipe dream.

Even Microsoft detects vulnerabilities late, and you think you're safe.

Okay I agree, "safe" may have not been the best word to use but lets face it, no one is safe whether they do use an anti virus / anti malware or not. An anti virus / anti malware won't defend you against vulnerabilities anyway, the only way to stay as safe as possible from these is to constantly keep your system up to date. There's also FUD viruses / keyloggers that an anti virus can't do shit about.
