I don't use any extra software, just the firewall on my router.

nope I have only got one virus in about 6 years and that was about 6 years ago. Not worried here.  I don't see all the extra crap bogging the puter down.

I haven't had any AV program installed in about a year.  I have never had a virus on my home pc so I figured I would take my chances.  I keep my risks extremely limited though.

Network Address Translation and good habits on my gaming partition.  The other partitions... not so much.  I rely on Avast and a couple of anti-spywares.

I use School-provided Symantec Endpoint Protection, plus a firewall on my router.  Also have Spybot and Adaware installed, just in case.  Spybot and Symantec run a full scan every night.
