As with all things, it depends.

I don't run any sort of anti-virus or firewall on my Windows PC.

I -do- have a nice hardware router that blocks all incoming connection attempts.

I -don't- use Internet Explorer as my browser. I use Firefox.

I -don't- use Outlook for my email. I use Thunderbird.

I -don't- click on any random attachements that come up in my email. And even if I did, I use Thunderbird. It won't execute attachments.

And I've never gotten infected with anything.
