PLUS.....if a malware, virus or bad code is ‘new’ and never seen before, the ANTI-virus programs won’t know it and won’t do anything, just like your body’s immune system..........

That's why I don't use or recommend AV except for the built-in Windows Defender since I have no good reason to turn it off. My point is to practice safe computing to avoid running malicious code. You don't need AV to do that.
