You guys just aren't careful enough. I use XP and have been going on the Internet without using an antivirus and never getting struck with a malware attack. I do play safe and scan just to be sure, but otherwise, all good.

Ubuntu used to have the option of installing itself as a Windows program, but that was removed in 13.04. It was never the ONLY way to install Ubuntu. I used to use Ubuntu from 2008 until 2012 before moving on to Debian and never used that option.

If you're not using your PC for gaming I'd go with Ubuntu. It's easier than you think these days and is very secure.
Failing that, give AVG a shot.
