It really depends on how careful you are where you go on-line. I've run without a software firewall for years, and I've yet to get an infection. I also very rarely just go "surfing" and click on links willy-nilly. I don't do P2P or IM either.

I do run an up to date AV scanner, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, and I regularly scan with AdAware.
