I've never been infected by spyware or adware, and have had one email virus in about 10 years of internet use - there are a few simple reasons for this.
1. I use Linux.
2. I don't go to porn sites.
3. I don't use peer-to-peer services.
4. I don't go to crack/hack sites.
So in my opinion the key to computer security is ''be sensible''. If you go to lots of ''suspicious places'' on the internet, then you're going to infect your computer. Stay away, and your PC will be fine.
