Billy,
I'd submit that you're in the minority. Viruses are one thing but all the other crap can be acquired through normal surfing habits. Many of the subversive infections are not detectable through use of a combination of Spyware, Adware, Virus protection programs. Legitimate businesses install crap on your macines as well.
Additionally, many worms or viruses are acquired from familiar email adresses as they propogate through address books.
The bottom line is that my wife and daughter are going to use the machine I want to protect best. They won't fair well utilizing five products to scan, remove, quarantine the PC.
If switching to another browser alleviates 80% of my problem I'm all ears.
