In the case of virus and malware, it's way better to deal with it before it gets to your machine, than it is to try to fix it later. I'm all for prevention instead of cure in this case.
No -to me it is like sitting in my car with no seatbelts on, when it is in the garage

I know where malware and spyware comes from, so if I don't drive into it, It won't infect me. I keep up to date on things that need patching.
