it's not typically(key word) present on a machine that is kept 100% up-to-date, but it is always possible that even something legitimate you installed may not be correctly secured and may accidentally backdoor your system because of legacy code or bad practices.

anti virus software will not protect you from good zero day exploits

Nothing can really be done about that one anyway. Some AV software does push out hotfixes for some cases of zero days if they have heuristics that can detect it though, as long as it's OS-level and not related to bios or hardware/firmware directly

do not JUST use malware bytes, good practice is to have both malwarebytes and a decent av software. AVG, avast, bitdefender, ect
