No spyware ever found anymore

[ident]

Firstly i have been using spybot s&d for a few years now and has 9/10 found spyware on a scan.

I use the internet everyday so sometimes pick up a infected file or 2.

But now for about 3 months it has no picked up one single infection. Which i find strange.

Only thing i can think of it, when i updated a while back i got an error message.

something about malicious code being downloaded or something, (this was an update from spybot)

i quickly uninstalled and then reinstalled but still no infections found...

help?
