Yep, spyware is a significant threat in itself and if you get enough it'll just make your online experience unbearably slow with pop ups and commandeered processing power as the cause. It's worth having anti-virus software just to block some of that but it's true it is quite hard to get a virus. Again if you haven't got anti-virus software you might not know if you do get one though but does it need to be expensive, not for general use. Use a free anti-virus product.
