Quote - I've been online for all of 12 years. When I first came on line I was running McAfee and had my first virus in a month. Reinstalled everything, started using avast. Being a 51 year old bachlor I vist some way off color sites, surf the web a lot, always curous about everything. Never picked up a virus, hell I don't even scan for them any more. So I am clueles why people are so terrified of viruses. Yes folks that is 1 in 12 years.

A bit away from the topic but: If you don't scan any more, are you really so sure you haven't ever had one since?  :)  Really, it's still something for the average user to be concerned about.  E.g., malware can be distributed by banner ads, or by Flash objects, and of course by self-extracting installers.
