A friend of mine's yahoo email account got hacked, and I unwittingly opened one of his emails where the links attached tracking cookies.
I knew it right away, kind of that keys in the ignition feeling as you've just closed the door.
I activated my Norton AV that came with the computer. I then did a full scan and it detected 48 tracking cookies that were from that one click! Yikes!
For years and years I've never used any security on my home pcs. I only go to 10 or so websites, and only 4 on a chronic basis. Once every so often I'd do a scan by activating Norton and nothing would come up.
Do any of you go commando or do you use security all of the time?
It keeps bothering me to renew. I'm on the fence on whether to renew or not.

. For my own machine I use the free avast. Like you, I visit a few sites regularly. Avast is pretty lightweight and its free. And it grabbed the malware that was floating around here a few weeks back, which McAfee at work didn't and hosed my machine there. Anyway, just my $0.02.
