I've even just done the unthinkable, and installed Malwarebytes on my precious PC to prove a point.
- This installation of Windows 7 has been running almost 24/7 since January 2013.
- I have had NO antivirus or anti malware software on it at any point
- I do torrent / install "potentially hazardous" files. Often.
- I've been known to dabble on Tor
It's scaremongering.

TOR is a completely safe browser though anyway not sure why that would be relevant to proving your point
