Personally for me it's a no brainer after having someone try to hack my computer several times over a few month period, having my av mucked with, and the possibility that whoever was doing it could try to dig out ************* about not just me but my youngest brother who also uses my comp on occasion.
I used to believe that just because I was on dial up and I had the in house Xp firewall running that I was just fine. But then someone hacked into my comp and tried to disable the av. The first few times it happened I wrote it off as just a glitch. But after it became so that whenever I went online I was having this happen, I decided to get a firewall and install it asap. And since I did, I've not had this problem.
