Whatever security measures you implement, some viruses do manage to sneak in an bite you in the ass. Even if you manage to remove them later using a better AV software, some leave lasting damage usually to the system registry. Examples are the inability to show hidden files, disabled task manager, disabled firewall and the list goes on.
