I only have windows firewall and one spy ware program, just don't be stupid and click on things you should click on, and I've been fine since then
Is an anti-virus important? Or firewall enough?

well then you can take it up with the professors and linguists that publish the dictionaries, since virii is not in there. In fact the only people who recognize virii as a word are people on the internet. It is associated with "leet" speak.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/virus
At the most it could be considered slang.
Well, according to www.sirkenin.com, virii is legitimate. So there. 
Actually, virii is jargon amongst hacker circles and as mentioned, I guess it is "leet speak" on BBS' (now this is going back a few years).
Officially, the accepted pluralized form is viruses.
It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks though...

Hi Curious girl
A couple of years ago I had an email from my brother (a reliable source one would think). My antivirus blocked it but my brother's PC never recovered from the virus and was reformatted. He never even knew he had the virus until way after it had sent itself to me.
He and I had the same antivirus software. My definitions were up to date, his were not.
