<p>Antivirus/antispyware software is a scam run by a bunch of snake oil salesmen. Think before you click, use NoScript (or just use elinks like me), and don’t trust your magical software to handle security for you. You are your own biggest security flaw, and it doesn’t matter what operating system or anti-* software you use.</p>
<p>And NEVER run as admin for day-to-day use. If you do, you deserve what you get.</p>
