I don't use any anti virus or firewall. In fact I haven't for quite some time now. But I haven't encountered any problems. I do use spybot against spyware but even that doesn't seem to find all that much on my PC.
If you want a good defence against virusses just make sure you don't open shady attachments to emails and don't open files send to you over MSN and the like.

But even if I was somehow affected by a virus I have backups of all important files and can just format my harddrive to start over.
