Well, Chris, I can't imagine why you would think that not having an
antivirus program is a Good Thing. If you are running a Windows
operating system (which you are) not having a current antivirus program
is a Bad Thing. Your computer is probably infected with viruses,
trojans, spyware and $deity only knows what else. Either clean up your
machine or pay someone to clean it up for you.
