I have been using XP64 since its release and thats over 3 years.
I have no anti-spyware, no antivirus, and Windows firewall is off too! I have nothing on the softwrae side of things to protect it....
I do however have my firewall on the router switched on.
I have been to some seriously shady sites in this 3 years, I have downloaded some sticky content but I have never been hit by a virus in all that time.
( I do run NOD32, AVG, or AVAST and NOSPYWARE, SpyDoc etc on some of my other PCs however... Im not stupid! but on my main PC I have just never felt the need to )
