I honestly don't care if I get infected with a virus. It hyped by the media, but honestly, its not like the end of the world if your pc gets infected.
...and it's that exact mentality which has resulted in countless millions of zombies. You not caring is the reason that I get as much spam as I do and the reason that I have to deal with massively-distributed denial of service attacks on servers I administer rather than centralized attacks. Maybe you don't have anything of importance on your computer and the free time to do a restore when need be (which means you either don't have a computer-dependent job or you're your own boss which some lacking time-management skills), but you represent the plague of the net. It's a selfish attitude which is an abuse of a communal resource.

Your (infected) machine is connected to the internet and in return for that you owe it to everyone else to be a responsible netizen.
