So, from what I see it seems some Windows/Sigil users don't run antivirus packages - can this be true?

If a 3rd party program is involved in the problem, it's unlikely to be something you run from a shortcut on the desktop or a pinned item in the task-bar/start-menu. More likely to be something that is run at Windows start up.

Could be a program you don't even realise you have - aka Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) - a malwarebytes scan will find most PUPs.
