For those of you who say you don't need antivirus on vista...
Here's some interestig reading for you. Ofcourse, you may still argue that "I only go to facebook so I'm safe". It's not true ofcourse, since any website can be hacked, and you'll probably accept an UAC request for some new killer feature "facebook" claims to have implemented. Even if YOU may not, someone else at your computer could accept for you without even considering what they are doing.
Anyway, here goes:
