Due to some other requirements, I am required to have both Java and Adobe on my computer. I use Firefox exclusively.

I don't run any anti-virus or anti-malware programs at all.

I never get a virus/malware. Ever.

Your number one vector is not the applications you run, but the OS you use.

Unfortunatly I’m required to have Java, Adobe and FF.

“Your number one vector is not the applications you run, but the OS you use.”

Which is why all the infections are associated with Java and FF. Sorry, not buying it. They are called infection vectors for a reason. Control them, you control your likelihood of infection.
