Maybe because, depending on the type of malware, it's usually designed so that the target user should not notice it (it can perform its job peacfully in the background without anyone knowing).
Bullet proof vests was mentioned. I think that just to be on the safe side, it could become good practice to wear a gas mask while net surfing in the future. As we cannot with certainty say how bad malware/viruses may become, we cannot exclude the possibility that in some future point in time, the next generation of polymorphic malware can mutate in completely new and until now - unknown ways. Possibly, but not limited to, through power cables to your electricial socket and eventually spreading through the air, among humans...
