Although anti-virus programs try to keep an updated list of all computer viruses in existence, they obviously can't be 100% successful at that. Because of this, newer viruses that may have not been added to the definitions list of anti-virus programs are better at spreading across computer systems. Older viruses are much more likely to be detected, since anti-virus companies have had time to detect them and add them to their definitions list.

Every computer could have a virus but if you use your computer carefully it can be impossible for the virus to come to your computer.
The exceptions list that exists in many anti-virus programs allows you to specify 'exceptions' that the anti-virus program will overlook when scanning for viruses and monitoring suspicious activity. This can be useful if your anti-virus program is blocking a non-virus, stopping it from doing what it is supposed to be doing. For example, if your anti-virus program stopped the Google Chrome installer program from making changes to your computer you would want to create an exception - since the Chrome installer is a perfectly legitimate program that will not harm your computer.
