That would be like running naked on the freeway. You may get away 
with it for a while, but pretty soon it will be ugly. It is not all 
about being smart. There are always smarter people out there that 
want to hurt people.

AVG = Anti-Virus <http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1>
SpyBot = Anti-Spyware 
<http://spybot.safer-networking.de/en/download/index.html>
AdAware = Anti tracking <http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/>
Windows Defender = Mish mash (no anti virus)

I've put the urls above because in the Windows world there is a LOT 
of imitation where different publishers (of malware as well) will try 
to get you to use their software by using identical or similar names 
with similar urls. You really have to be careful.

SpyBot and AdAware have to be manually updated and run. The other two 
can automatically run on a schedule.
