@Magus:
Regarding not using an antivirus....since you have never used one how would you actually know if you had certain malware or viruses in your PC, they don't always have symptoms, many just hide in the background , like keyloggers that can steal all sorts of private information like bank passwords CC account numbers, PINs, ect, and until you find your personal info stolen or your accounts drained you'll never know. It will be too late. Everyone that uses any Windows OS or OS X should have a basic security suite..MSE and AVAST, are excellent and use very little resources.
At the very least you should use a free stand alone scanner like Malwarebytes.org which will do an excellent job at detecting items that may have already have sneaked into your system.
I DO agree though that the best defense against malware and other infections is the security suite that is located between the users ears, is actually analog, and is always free forever.
