used to think more-or-less the same thing: antiviruses are unneeded resource hogs... until I connected my laptop to the network at school. I didn't notice anything strange until a month later when I reinstalled WinXP (was doing it regularly for speed).
My mistake was that I installed Winamp and other software from kits on a shared folder (full access for everybody) on my laptop, before installing the AV.
That's when all hell broke loose: the kits were injected by some virus and got activated only when were run tl;dr: Thing is even "power-users" can get it wrong. Is it really worth it risk so much, for so little? PS: referring here strictly to platforms that need AVs |
