Do you need an antivirus?

[nissimezra]

Its like wearing your seatbelt in your car.The one time you dont have it on something bad happens and everyone is saying "If only he wore his seatbelt" It might not be that you are a bad driver but you have to worry about everyone else on the road.
I am sure professional race car driver wears his or her seatbelt when they are in their personal car.
Many of us do our personal banking online,make purchases,transfer money,etc. I am sure I could get by with not using an AV/Security suite,but having used one for the last 18-20 years and not having an infection why on earth would I not continue to use one and or advise anyone not to use one. Everything everywhere is vulnerable this day in age and I personally sleep at lot better at night when I lock my doors before I go to bed.
So yes I rely on it

I never did used a sit belt for real only not to have a ticket just through it on me not locking it, it's annoying and make me fill in jail can't move foreword to see if a car coming on a junction. I've been driving for 30 years. smart? no. would i recommend doing so? no. will I continue doing so? yes.
as for AV if you have the resources and it's free why not.
