Paul, I second that. When I use to be in the business I had Test PC

out how to remove them. To fix clients PC when they got them, I could
not find them. I do not know where people go to get these things.
Check your spam folder. Probably more than half of them get it there.
And of course there are the various websites that offer something for
nothing, deals that are too good to be true (free high-def movies,
Nigerian scams, obscene photos of celebs who don't even take their
clothes off in the shower, that kind of stuff).
Easiest way for an upstanding citizen to find malware is to do an
ordinary Google search and then look through the hit list for "This site
may harm your computer."
As for working without a net, I'm all too aware, especially as I age,
that I'm fallible and often inattentive, so an AV program is cheap
protection. I wear a seat belt in the car, too -- I'm a safe driver, but
lots of others aren't. An AV program could miss something, but not by
being sleepy or distracted. And the day I discover I'm perfect, I'll
notify my clients I'm raising my rates. ;-)
