I hear you but I just can't seem to justify 100.00 (per year) for a virus program and other stuff I just don't need. I would rather spend 60.00 on a single program. I realize that virus on a Mac are the least of my problems but I am getting an amazing number of them through email. I believe I am passing them (unwillingly) to others who use Windows. I just want to take all precautions.
There is no way you are passing those virus unwillingly.
People may believe they receive infected e-mail from you, but that is because the viruses send e-mail with fake addresses: if someone with an infected windows machine has your address, then a virus may send infected messages that PRETEND to come from you to other people in this guy's address book.
Then some of these messages may bounce and, of course, they bounce to you (the ALLEGED sender), but you did not send them and there is nothing you can do to prevent that. They can keep sending those messages regardless of you (no AV software, and not even turning off your mac forever can do anything about it).
