That's because you use a Linux program correct? If that's correct then you wouldn't need anything in that manner because Linux codes are very hard for a virus to attach to due to the fact that Linux is supposedly a pain to make viruses for same with melware. Also same with iPhone because there programming is roughly similar to Linux. :3
Nope. I'm on Windows currently. 1: "Users with a brain" don't need an antivirus on Windows, not even firewall. And no, 2: "Linux isn't fully immune to viruses." [There are much fewer viruses being made for Linux, but they /can/ be deadly.]
Gonna Break apart what you said to clear any misunderstandings.

1 just because someone isn't gifted in the ways of technology doesn't make one stupid,retarded,dumb or brainless

2: with the understanding that nothing on earth is perfect this was obviously implied in my statement.

Statement in brackets: this was my point also I put more emphasis on the can because sure they can but the virus on Linux are more rare, so the likelihood of you getting one is less then using a Windows program or android.

Some computer get targeted more then others, most are from adds and/or shady sites some even off of regular sites, viruses can be found there as well. so the chances of you "never" encountering anything such as melware,spyware and/or viruses seems greatly over exaggerated but I'm not going to embark too heavily on that for I am not on your computer, anyways that's all I needed to clear up. Have a nice day.

Edit: had to fix typical autocorrect fuck ups.

Like Jaker said, if you're on Windows 10, you don't really need an antivirus to protect you from viruses and what not however, if you're really that desperate, you may download MalwareBytes.

1. Linux/Mac OSX/iOS are less prone to viruses since they are built on the UNIX platform.
2. It's very easy to remove viruses if you have the experience. I prefer not to have any antiviruses simply because I can handpick and erase the virus software and the antivirus hogs the PC. ONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU'RE EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED AND YOU DON'T DELETE system32.

My computer said I had a virus so just to be sure the virus can't do anything I deleted system 32


Now my foot is on the roof and the rest of my body is on the wall.

I'm installing Kaspersky Total Security 2016 on my PC as I'm changing from AVG Internet Security as it's causing my system to have rather high CPU usage for some strange reason and was also causing issues with my network - like not displaying web pages and such.

I'll let you know how it is after using it.

I use CCleaner and Malwarebytes Premium / Pro or whatever it's called I just remember I torrented it lol
