Hah! I've had a serious infection. Of influenza. But yeah, there's a logical fallacy about claiming you're safe against something simply because it hasn't happened yet - I can't name it though. But to illustrate, I've never died yet. Does that mean I'm 100% safe against ever dying?

As mentioned earlier, advanced antivirus suites are already taking up sandboxing, including sandboxing the entire OS. It's not yet common, and comes with quite a lot of disadvantages, which is why it's currently only taken up by the most security-conscious of corporations.

Probably not but I will explain - to use in case the main parachute malfunctions.

Except in your case you've claimed the main parachute is a waste of time and haven't worn it for 3 years.
