I have never had a problem with Spyware or Viruses because I keep to specific web pages I know, never ever click on a link you get in email from someone you don't know, never open unknown attachments, and stay off the Porn sites.
Wow.. You have a pretty exciting life.. Nothing like living dangerously

I don't use antivirus software on MY machine at home (used on the others in da house tho). I use ZoneAlarm as a software firewall and have 2 routers as hardware firewalls. I don't use Outlook for my email.
I install/uninstall AV software about twice a year just to do a scan for the hell of it but never had an issue (and I don't follow Vengance's rules).
Stay away from torrents you don't trust or that have not been reviewed.
