Of course not. But if you are awake you CAN do without anything. I
have never gotten any virus on my computer because I never run risky
programs. The alerts I get are from the e-mail virus scanner, but
those messages would never have been opened by me anyway :-)

But with a router/firewall, ZoneAlarm, avast! anti-virus, and regular
scan with AdAware and Spybot S&D the system should be fairly clean :-)
