How long have you been downloading "warez"? A year? There was a time when the keygens bundled with apps included trojans. When "legit OS" versions were modified to load a trojan AND access an IRC channel where it sat...waiting to be abused. When opening a PDF or CHM would cause the computer to open browser windows to ad-infested sites AND click on those ads so the malware author got paid. Etc...etc...etc...
That you've never encountered a virus or trojan doesn't mean they aren't out there...it just means your experience is rather limited.
