do we realy need expensive AV software

The internet isn’t such a scary place, says Which? Computing, and your computer is a lot safer than you think.

The consumer watchdog connected five computers to the internet for four weeks* and not one of them became infected, despite an estimated 60,000 new malware threats occurring daily.**

The PCs weren’t overloaded with security software either. In fact, one was such an easy target for would-be attackers it was practically saying ‘come and get me’.

what do others think? are we being scared into buying unnecessary expensive AV software .I for one only use VM's software and prior to that i used MSE ,prior to that i was sucked in by Nortons "don't even switch your computer on without our software" approach
