Yeah, but you can over do it. I would like to have a Police car at the end of my driveway as another layer of protection but I don't think I need that. My primary, secondary, and laptop PCs are fully protected but my video editing box has nothing... firewall, anti virus... forgetabout it! For the way I use those PCs security apps would just eat up CPU cycles and are possible sources of editing errors.
