I'm also not keeping anything really important on my computers though, the simple rule is "if this computer stops working now, I won't loose anything of value") - because this has actually happened a few times to me over the years, but always because of failing hardware.

The least useful thing for malware to do is to render your computer unusable. As that would prompt you to reinstall it or investigate the cause.
