This mindset annoys me. Yes, you may have never needed an antivirus software, but it doesn't mean that other people just need to 'wise up' or that they download garbage because they're not very smart about the internet.

I don't download garbage, but I still use an antivirus simply because on the off chance that I might need to get something from a questionable site I know I'll be protected from most nasties that may try and sneak in.

And suggesting Authenticators but not an Antivirus seems rather double-standardish if you ask me. :P
