Nope....
Saavy as in knowing not to do dumb shyt like click suspicious adds and open random ass .exe files?
All you need is Adblocker and Windows Defender which is like Microsoft security essentials on Windows 7.
And turn off Java, you don't need that garbage.

Use Firefox with Noscript
uBlock, Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Common Sense.
This. I still have McAfee too for real time scanning. Haven't had a virus in years.
Noscript is the truth. It's the only reason I solely use FF
I still recommend an antivirus suite though. You can never be too safe. Especially if you download a lot like I do.
Enlighten us from our ignorance brotha
About noscript? It's a Firefox add on that blocks all flash and Java (how one gets viruses normally). You have to manually okay sites and videos. It's tedious at first, but you get used to it. HIGHLY recommended, especially if you go to shady sites
Bless for the explanation.
That does sound a bit tedious but don't many sites use HTML 5 rather than flash now?

Disable flash and use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes anti-exploit.
You'd be surprised.
You guys really like Windows defender 
I use Avast, Malwrebytes and adblock for firefox. No viruses for me

I don't trust anybody. I bit the bullet and just got a subscription to ESET. It hasn't picked anything up yet, but it did stop some shyt because I made a typo when typing in a URL. Better safe than sorry
