A hacker is going to see your machine with no security and think that clearly , you don't have any valuable information on your machine and move alone. But when you strap your machine down with paid Security Centers, then you make your self a target to the hacker. Why? Because you have valuable information...

Just my 2 cents though

Yeah don't use security I mean files you download don't contain viruses and malware right. There aren't a million different automated ways to become infected with malicious code or anything. Yeah who needs any security against any of that right I mean the only thing we really need to worry about are hackers after all and they are only looking for computers that take time and effort to break into so they can brag about their skill at hacking!

Not using any security on a windows system is retarded.

They call it anti-virus and anti-spyware not anti-hacker....

I have passwords on everything, including the actual Administrator account and even the BIOS.
