Daphoid,
Excellent post...and I concur 100%.
I manage IT for a small company, and we recently had a virus/worm scare, first one in my five years with the company.
After I sent out a scathing email to the whole company about the use of "private" computers on the companies network and how it will no longer be tolerated with out my consent, I found out how many people do not use virus protection at home.
I can understand a bit on why people do not update their Microsoft OSes with the provided patches, but no virus protection....I think that is negligence.
At home, I use Norton/Symantec antivirus and Spybot. Spybot, being free, is a no brainer and works well.
