it's hard to believe so many of these things have actually been said by people who claim to be or are regarded as security experts. especially the 'i never use anti-virus and i never get viruses' one.

not to sound like an expert but I have not had a virus without knowing it ever (been on the internet since 1994). I do run anti virus software and I do go to the more shady parts of the internet but I've always know when something was a virus before the anti virus software alerted me. And I've more than a few times had to disable the anti virus for some new software that the anti virus thought was a virus. That said I would never recommend anyone uninstall their anti virus, I know what I know and I know I can recover anything (I also have multiple backups on-site and off-site and in the cloud) but for most people they only have one PC and wouldn't know how to do a fresh install. Just saying that it is possible :)
