Just to add my 2 cents.
I have my faithful programs that protect me. I don't find it slows my PC down at all, and while being careful is good, there are always things that get past. Running Spybot, Avira and ZA and still there are things that get by. I like to think I am careful, but having a bit of software to help out with the job and run a check to see that it didn't miss anything with more updated definitions is not like a performance killer.
As has been said above, each to their own, but with free programs that do a great job, I don't understand why putting that extra bit of precaution is shied away from.

I got rid of mine because it slowed my system down horribly (especially at start-up). But I wouldn't trust a word that Jason guy says.

Advice from long haired men isn't usually something I follow 
I don't find said performance hit, but maybe it's with specific things. Each to their own
