Cobalt is correct as well as grisu.
If you have the original windows XP on a clean install and connect to the internet without any protection. You can get the blaster and sasser infection easily without installing or downloading a thing.
As far as anti viruses go avg is good I have used it for years and it's free. Just so you know though no single anti-virus is perfect because no single anti-virus catches them all. If I were to buy I would probably get CA Labs or nod32 maybe Kaspersky. I like low resource anti-virus programs. I do like the new security essentials and have tested it. It does have good capture count and is very low resource but is still new and needs bugs fixed(a little aging).
Most people love AVG because it is free and is a descent anti virus couple this with a firewall and good internet habits and you can stay in good shape. I do recommend adding extra spyware protection as this is a bigger issue than virus infection these days. Such as super, spybot S&D, adaware but that is another subject.
