timmmay: I wonder if the "out of box security provided by windows 7" includes Microsoft Antivirus. I guess it does, since it does block some viruses.eset does a Very Good Job of protecting against this. You'll find for example you can no longer download from cnet as almost all their software (or is included by default in their downloader tool) includes installers for third party ad- or offer-ware.
I use the Microsoft one, I haven't had a virus yet. I used nod32 for years, I think one slipped through. For a year I didn't use any antivirus, didn't get anything. I think I got one of a floppy years ago.
What I find on my parents computers is they somehow get tricked into installing toolbars that confuse things and slow them down. I wish there was a way to block those. Or maybe I need some kind of a corporate policy server to stop them doing stupid things...

MadEngineer: You can't rely on common sense any more. There are many sites around that have been injected with malware and unless you have a decent av solution you'll be pwned. Saw a nasty one a few weeks back that would monitor your pc for FTP connections, grab the login details and infect any webserver you logged into with its latest payload. A lot of them are getting around the download prompts of your favourite browser.

freitasm: Studies have shown religious sites are worst than porn sites because they usually have low protection due to poor administration skills.
