I don't. I have 10 Macs.
But, if you are using Windows, you need all that stuff. ;-)
And since half of whatever's installed will need to be updated
online, you'll need to waive chicken entrails or do whatever
religious voodoo makes you comfortable while you download the
updates, because during that time there are millions of zombie
machines all over the world trying the last set of exploits on
random IPs, and yours could be next.
Many Windows machines are infected within minutes of turning on
their Internet connection.
Good anti-malware software, frequently updated, can clean up an
infected machine, if it's not grossly infected. But ya gotta pay for
it. I pay my annual subscription to Norton Internet Utilities, just
so I can use my XP machine on the internet occasionally.
