Hm, download http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads, make virtual machine file, install os. Make backup of file. Surf the interent in virtual machine. After serf, erase virtual machine file. Restore from backup. Rinse and repeat. No need for AV at all ;) Greets -- http://maxa.homedns.org/ Sometimes online sometimes not
