And I'll do what I can to help if you need it.
But yea, I mean... you can go for a single day without any virus protection and get viruses without even surfing the web, as long as you're connected to the internet and you have no firewall and your computer is on. People really don't know how often they're being port scanned and tested for vulnerabilities on a mass scale and infected with crap.
Just BEING CONNECTED to the internet is the risk. Not where you go. So yea, it's pretty important that you have some kind of protection. I don't even plug into the internet without a firewall and antivirus installed. It's not paranoia either.
