The best you can say is that you haven't been aware of being infected in more that two years. -

Personally, I've never found a virus infection on any of my machines
and only one spyware infection. I believe however, that it's more
prudent to assume that I am infected by something more clever than
either me or the security software companies.
We can only think we're safe, we can't know it. Hardware and software
diagnostics only detect what they know about. Viruses spread at
increasingly astounding speed these days which often exceeds the
capabilities of the security companies to respond before millions of
machines are infected.
Earlier this year, I found an email with the google virus two hours
before the security companies diagnosed it and 3 hours before a fix was
released. I ID'd it because it didn't fit my normal received email
profile but the message was constructed in a manner that many people
would have considered normal for their incoming email.
