I don't. Haven't for, I don't know, 15 years? Before that I tended to do passive scans a few times a year, and I never had any viruses so I don't even bother now. Here's a secret: You don't need AV on Windows if you're remotely tech savvy, and it doesn't mean you need to be paranoid about what you download either, only use some common sense. The AV's I've come in contact with (friends, family, work) are worse than the viruses they purport to defend against anyway. Just the other day the IT department installed some undisableable Webroot extension in Chrome that injects some godawful green checkmarks throughout Google Search's HTML. That's a virus to me.
