Fortunately my day job has most of our data on a computer that does not get viruses, (because security in the OS is a top priority) and our stuff on Microsoft uses Live Update protection which means that the only risk is new viruses before the anti-virus people develop cures.
Furthermore, our ISP is doing filtering, in addition to what we are filtering for the corporate network, so there is a layered defense ... ISP, corporate, individual PCs.
The really nice thing about our reality is that we can ignore the threat of viruses 99% of the time, and let the computer handle this problem.
