This was already kind of answered in my previous post. Here's a partial quote from it that, in a sideways sort of way, takes care of your question:

You don't necessarily have to get viruses from websites. Viruses find you. Unless you have security to block them, they will even download themselves in the background. Thats why the newer antivirus programs have something called live scanning, something AVG lacks.

And I am not so worried about it myself. What I am worried slightly about are people that are not good with computers, don't know how to fix them if something goes wrong, and then are misinformed that free AV programs are the best. Then they spend hundreds of dollars getting their computer cleaned up/restored/fixed because of stuff the viruses did.
If you know what you're doing with a computer, fixing it or reformatting or whatever, thats one thing. But recommending the free stuff to every Joe Blow out there, 99% of which aren't good with PCs, is reckless. Thats basically the main point I really wish to stress.
Its your guys' money and time, do with it what you wish. For the people that aren't, or don't care to be, good with PCs, I'm just trying to save you some.
