I've only twice used a virus scanner... Ironically both times got a virus. Norton kept notifying me "omg you have a virus!!!!11" every 10 seconds, but failed to remove it, Norton was much more of a pain in that situation than the actual virus was... Had to format in the end anyway. Norton doesn't even successfully uninstall (on uninstall: "norton is not currently installed", ok then I reinstall: "norton is already installed", and there was no way to kill it while running for some reason either...)
Mcafee didn't do much more, but at least it wasn't as annoying with the 10-second-delay notifications.

I haven't been running a virusscanner for ages now, and haven't had a problem ever since. I do spyware checks now and again with Hitman Pro and my router acts as a firewall for me, windows firewall disabled, if only it did not reenable itself for no reason at all... Haven't updated in ages because windows update killed my desktop once (needing windows reinstall to actually fix it) and because it effectively resets my computer as soon as I try to install any update with it.
I don't want that type of updates.
