But I did check. I paid for Kapersk(SP) and ran the checker. It did not find
anything. After that I removed it.

You can only presume that haven't had a virus because you are not checking.
 For all you know you have a trojan installed and your system is merrily

If you are exceptionally well disciplined about clicking links in email and
on unfamiliar web pages, an adult can get away without A/V.  But there
aren't many who can.
