It's an open question whether you *should* spend much time on 
the Internet without such protections, but for someone who only 
connects when they are actively using their PC to connect to 
other sites, the fact that 90% of the malware and spyware out 
there targets Windows systems suggests that clients of other 
types are at least RELATIVELY safe.
