If you have a good firewall and don't open suspicious emails, why take the huge performance hit every AV package causes? I've been running AV-free for two years with no problems.

Wow. Interesting. Normally I would think that's a dingbat idea in this day and age but if you and Rick are doing it, it gives me something to think about.
A couple of questions -- what about web sites that want to stealthily load stuff onto your machine? Avoid them, or does the firewall catch them? And what firewall(s) do you use?
