i haven't gotten a PC virus since Windows 3.1. i don't run anti-virus on any machine really, unless it's got Win7 or 8 and nags me to install one first. personally the only way to get viruses these days is to download from illegal or questionable sources (limewire, torrentz, warez) or going to porn sites or clicking on unsolicited emails. the concern re: PCs today is largely spyware or Malware, adware and bots. i am not sure Android is vulnerable to them in normal use

the last major PC virus i was aware of was the old Klez worm. it used to cause a reboot of Windows XP, by killing the task Remote Procedure Call. i dealt with those often in the PC repair days back then
