You should be ok as long as you have a good antivirus and firewall (I use both a software firewall and the one built into the superhub2). I've had about 5 viruses since getting my first pc back in the late 90's and non of them were system killers. the two worst ones were one that renamed all my mp3 files into dos filename format a very long time ago and the other was one that installed a batch file that caused the pc to shut down as soon as it was started up. The latter was really easy to remove once I figured out what it was.
