People get the virus thing mixed up, you don't need to actually download anything to be infected. Viruses come in MANY forms, some scripts, some applications. I could probably create a script to auto download via active x, therefore allowing me to alter settings. I had to create a basic virus for school .

Visiting websites with FLASH, ACTIVEX, and any other plugins causes troubles. Emails are also a bad form of contracting viruses.

It's like safe sex, you don't want to go unproteced with someone you don't know, or know for that matter. There is a 50/50% chance of getting something, you always need to be protected.

Its all in how you use the internet. Just becasue you dont use a firewall, antivirus, ect and do your card online dosent mean anything. Most routers have a built in firewall that most people dont know is there. I dont run anything and ive never had any problems before.

I don't really use antivirus software, I do have AVG but I'm not sure if/when it runs. I just use Vista's built-in firewall. If you're smart with how you use the web, you shouldn't need a bunch of tools.

Common sense is the best tool against spyware....
