I quit having problems when I stopped using internet explorer on pc.I downloaded safari on my only pc and did a clean install of windows 7 and have had no issues.All of my other machines are macs and again I haven't had 1 issue related to spyware,virus,or malware.

i don't use IE ... so i understand but you still should be running something just in case.

The problem is that Hackers can use your PC to attack others so you might not notice anything.

AVG is a solid free antivirus that doesn't take up many resources.

Yeah well honestly I only use my pc to stay up with windows so I can help my boys with their stuff at school.I did have pc tools anti virus on it before but I rarely use it anymore.I run snow leopard on all of my macs and so far a add on anti virus doesn't seem needed.I guess maybe I should put something on the pc though....
