I guess that's the attitude I have.  Anything important I keep backed up regularly on a separate media (usually thumb drives or SD cards).  With the amount of memory on these things I can keep all my business records on one chip.  Photos, music, etc all get put on cards.  Everything else is replaceable.

It paid off when the wife's computer got screwed up.  Just went ahead and wiped it clean and reinstalled.  Back up and running.  Only hassle is reloading all the software, drivers and preferences.

I have used Ghostery and CCleaner for a while now with no problems. Avast is good too but CCleaner is best. My computer fixer uses CCleaner on his own computer.

I use nothing and have never had an issue with Apple. The last PC I had caught a virus in it`s first hour of use, really fun!

I have used ESET and Malwarebytes for years and been happy with both.
