I'd argue that simply not using IE is more effective than AV software.

For the records, I am 15 years virus free on my Windows based machines without an antivirus, using IE daily since IE4 as my main browser, and using Outlook as a mail client for the last 10 years.

As long as we're wagging dicks, I'm 15 years Windows-free, and because I'm a Linux user, I don't even have to provide technical (or virus cleaning) support for friends or family!
