I'm not a complete idiot when downloading things from the internet.

I've never had a virus, spyware, etc.



There's a correlation between the level of user and the likelihood of contracting a computer virus. The system is only a small variable in that IMO.
Funny, my XP build that ran for 4-5 years was like that, and now I've been running Vista for about 2 years, same story.

My home PC is powered up and connected to the Internet 24x7x365. I do have Trend Micro, but the only thing it ever sees is cookies. I have used bit torrent to download all sorts of stuff. I'm quite active on the net.

I've had no problems.
