Hi.
First, it is incorrect to assume the only place to get a virus is in an email attachment.
<"to click or not to click, that's the question!">
You can get them from a web page, a trusted friend that has no idea the CD he\she burned is infected, an "accidental" click, some one else on your computer that "clicks", downloaded software, etc, etc.

Second, since you run <"NO"> AntiVirus Software, you would have no clue if you were infected or not. You would however, be capable of infecting others, that leads me to:

Third, While I applaud your use of ZA, it is ineffective at stopping mass mailers, as most of them use your very own mail client, that you have told ZA is allowed to access the internet.

In closing, your computer is a spam/virus sending machine waiting to happen, in this day and age when virus's are rampant, it is simply irresponsible to NOT run Antivirus software, many of which are free.
Case and point, per track record/update status, AVG is about the 2nd best Antivirus on the planet, and it's free.
Please do your friends a future favor and download it.
