same.. I also haven't used a virus scanner for I can't remember how long.Just this month I decided to try out nod32 because some people said it was good. Well I have about 2 years on this OS since my last reformat, the scanner didn't find a single virus or trojan.
The only thing I do run is adaware maybe once a month. I may keep the nod32 once the trial is up because it's very light on the system resources. Which was my major gripe about other virus scanners is they all seemed to be resource hogs.
But firewalls I just justa router.
