I often joke that I prefer having a virus than an antivirus, since very often the antivirus program behaves like a virus itself - symptoms: system slowdown, ocassional crashes and loss of data or antivirus-induced bugs, especially for the all-in-one apps with firewall, etc that make you lose a LOT of time. I haven't had an antivirus on my home PC for years, I only make the occasional online scan, and carefully monitor the startup apps & services (windows pc)
