yes, I am. Some of those "security updates" destroyed my Windows install more than once in the past. I guess I became paranoid since then. Yes, I used to keep my Windows always up to date.

Well, like I said above I became a little paranoid. So paranoid that I always reinstall Win7 from scratch once a year.
My uploads are 100% clean of viruses, trojans and spyware. You can check that if you like.
I also have a laptop where I make online purchases. That machine does have an anti-virus installed and is always updated. More people use that laptop too.
