The RogueKiller is a boost to traditional antivirus software. The provider boasts a powerful engine that is supposed to find (un)known malware of all kinds. There are also AI and cloud signatures.
Does your antivirus system (AV) recognize all threats, i.e. malicious programs? Hardly likely. At least based on tests in which several products – including yours – compete in a comparison and overlook a few malware specimens from thousands of threats unleashed on them. An identification rate of, for example, 99 percent according to the evaluation is pretty good. If you're careful and lucky while surfing the web, you won't encounter a 1% threat that eludes your AV's detection techniques - and you'll continue to use your computer safely. In practice, ideally, your digital bodyguard either does not defend against malware (since you never come into contact with it) or does so with the code that it is aware of.
But can you be 100% sure that your computer has never "seen" malware? There is a residual chance of pests sneaking past. For example, you may have downloaded it as an EXE file. If your AV's signatures didn't and don't have matching detection information up their sleeve, the solution will not block the download or execution. Smuggling in via security gaps – keyword drive-by downloads – is also possible.
