I think you might be surprised about the virus thing. Not all viruses wipe your harddrive or do other destructive things; some are actually trojans that will let other programs in to track your internet use, or use your computer to help mass-email spam, etc; you never know.

There are free programs out there that offer basic protection, so there is no excuse NOT to use something. I use AVG for antivirus, Zonealarm for firewall, and Spybot/Adaware for spyware.
