I'm definitely not an IT professional but malicious files can get on your computer through no fault of one's own. There was an issue months ago where some Minecraft mod authors got phished and their compromised mods were available on the biggest mod/modpack platform for weeks before it was discovered. It's not like they were downloading albumname_artistname.exe or anything, it was business as usual
Oh aye, I fully agree with that. But Microsoft security patches will not help with anything like that. They're pretty much solely protocol exploits and privilege escalations.
