It isn't that bad an idea, all you then do is
A) Have a decent firewall
B) Be careful with what you open/download
C) Run an anti virus boot disc once a week or once a month to clean up anything that might get through.
If you aren't downloading things you shouldn't, and are canny with not opening dodgy emails, a firewall plus a weekly scan will keep you out of trouble. Then you don't have your windows PC bogged down with annoying AV programs.
Bitdefender and Kapersky both have great boot CDs that will get latest definitions from the web.
