I'm inclined to agree. I have Vista Home Premium on several machines and have never been infected.

I use AVG-Free for anti-virus and the standard windows firewall. Most importantly UAC is left switched on.

Yes it can be a PITA at times, but those one or two occasions where it pops up where you'd least expect it has probably saved my PC from an impending infection or disaster...

I have friends who have turned off UAC and they have had to re-build their PC not so long after.

It all comes down to whether you are lazy or responsible...
