    At work we regularly come across computers that are fully patched and run current AV software and yet are infected with spyware because numpty users insist on going to dodgy porn sites. Most recently this happened last week and led to an amusing explanation to the (l)user.

    Millions of people brows the internet happily every day, with Firefox or IE, recent patches and up to date AV software. And a good proportion of them would be running infected machines.

    Once in a while, one of my tech savvy friends changes AV package... and discovers a little cache of infection on his hard drive that the previous scanners didn't pick up. These are guys who know a lot more about tech than me and are much more careful about things.

    Generally, it's not worth losing sleep over security concerns if one takes reasonable precautions, but only someone very naiive would insist that any system is 100% safe. Unless said system is powered off and disconnected from the internet.
