Wow, a lot more people than I thought still use A/V. Does it ever actually catch anything? If so why are you downloading viruses and why are you executing them after you download them?
Yes, it does. Virusses come in all shapes and sizes. They can be included in a harmless looking download, they can be included in a website and being activated by a webscript. And so there are at least a dozen more ways in wich a virus can infect your computer. All those attempts are being caught.
POLL: IT Professionals ONLY! Do you think antivirus is necessary?

All viruses are not executable directly. That's why.
